Esistono collaudate strategie per la costruzione di testi, illustrazioni, percorsi concettuali: queste strategie sono elaborate da esperti di psicologia, pedagogia, linguistica e altre discipline.

This brochure expands upon why ease of use is critical to e-business. In e-business, success follows the path of least resistance. It depends on accessibility, reliability, security and usability of core applications. These applications must be easy to use the first time they are used or your customer may become someone else's customer. Nobody buys ease of use, but nobody buys products without it either. Read about IBM's User-Centered Design (UCD). See why IBM's Thinkpad Team and DB2 Universal database have been so successful. And read in detail about IBM's overall approach to make IT easy.

Review: Medical Writing in Drug Development: A Practical Guide for Pharmaceutical Research 
When I first saw this book, I was surprised that it was so slim. When you think of medical texts, you immediately imagine a volume of 600 pages or more. But Robert Bonk has been able to distill his information into a readable volume. All of the information is right there, easy to access, with no jargon cluttering the way.

Microsoft® HTML Help is the standard help system for the Windows platform. Authors can use HTML Help to create online help for a software application or to create content for a multimedia title or Web site. Developers can use the HTML Help API to program a host application or hook up context-sensitive help to an application. As an information delivery system, HTML Help is suited for a wide range of applications, including training guides, interactive books, and electronic newsletters, as well as help for software applications. HTML Help offers some distinct advantages over standard HTML, such as the ability to implement a combined table of contents and index and the use of keywords for advanced hyperlinking capability. The HTML Help compiler (part of the HTML Help Workshop) makes it possible to compress HTML, graphic, and other files into a relatively small compiled help (.chm) file, which can then be distributed with a software application, or downloaded from the Web.
