- A great book for novice technical writers in the computer industry is:
- The Art of Technical Documentation
- by Katherine Haramundanis
-
- Actually, I highly recommend it for anyone who does any type of technical
- documentation. It also includes information on hypertext systems, which
- will be the future writing environment for computer documentation.
- Definitely get this one.
-
- Another book, that is more general, is:
- Mastering Technical Writing
- by Joseph C. Mancuso
-
- This book is more of a course book in that it includes many practice exercises
- for you to do.
-
- Hope this helps.
