Sometimes we focus so much on tools and technologies that we forget the underlying theory of basic, good technical writing.
Yes, there are basic laws of technical writing which
remain intact despite the constant changes in the way we
produce documentation or the way users access it.
Whether you are writing a printed user guide, an online
reference manual, or context-sensitive online help, these
same basic laws apply.
I call these basic laws my 'golden rules' for producing
effective user documentation and eliminating sloppy
habits. This workshop covers each rule in detail, plus
provides practical tips for applying them.

Abstract: Sometimes we focus so much on tools and technologies that we forget the underlying theory of basic, good technical writing.
Yes, there are basic laws of technical writing which
remain intact despite the constant changes in the way we
produce documentation or the way users access it.
Whether you are writing a printed user guide, an online
reference manual, or context-sensitive online help, these
same basic laws apply.
I call these basic laws my 'golden rules' for producing
effective user documentation and eliminating sloppy
habits. This workshop covers each rule in detail, plus
provides practical tips for applying them.
