The practice of technical writing is closer to investigative reporting than to scientific writing: it requires gathering information rapidly, identifying the audience, and the creativity, problem-solving skills, and imagination that are basic to all effective writing. This book shows how to apply analytical thought to gather, dissect, and understand technical information and how to organize and present it for the reader. Thus, the "art" of technical writing combines the techniques for accomplishing this process; the "craft" is demonstrated in the technical writer's proficiency with language and technical tools. This book is intended for novice technical writers in the computer industry, but contains much information of interest to experienced documentation writers. It includes advice on planning and process, research techniques, use of g audience analysis, and definition of quality and standards.
