Technical Writing: What and How?

Thanks! Really that’s a nice read.

This is indeed something we really miss in all the teams I’ve been part of, and I wasn’t aware of the Google course.... that’s something I’m so happy you shared.

Even if my goal is not to become one, since we don’t have one and we need to write docs, that’s an important skill to have! I’ll look into this course for sure!

If this can also help other readers, one resource I shared with my teammates (because we don’t have a technical writer to help us with this) was this great talk by Daniele Procida at Pycon Australia 2017, but there’s nothing specific to Python there:

It’s really a great introduction into documentation writing and organization. It’s only the beginning, but if you’re like us and don’t have a real technical writer, I found this really helpful.

Wow! This was an excellent read! Thank you so much for writing this. While I primarily want to work in development, this article has convinced me that being a skilled technical writer could add value to that. Once again, great article!

Thanks much for your great article :)

That was quite intriguing. Nice piece you've got there. Congratulations

Great piece

Now I feel compelled to learn technical writing with web development. Thanks for this article.

Didi! This article is great. It was what i needed to get started with technical writing. Thanks

Thanks a lot for sharing it! The article was really helpful to me. 😊

Thank you very much for this. Before now i find it hard putting my thoughts to words but after reading your post and taking the google technical writing course, i realised that my problem was a knowledge gap. I am now getting better at writing and also composing work emails, however i still need something to practise with consistently, don't know if you have got any ideas. Technical writing unbelievably improves coding skills in the area of areas of methods, parameters, and variable naming.

I know I'd love writing but I just believed I didn't have the skills. Didi, Thank you for this article. It's timely, I hope to go on with my plan to publish something by Friday.

This was a great read. I found really good nuggets about technical writing.

We have to use active voice when writing our curriculum books. I feel that even though this is an easy way to serialize and make a uniform style across several technical writers working on the same project, that having my one "flair" better markets myself. I like to read certain bloggers because of the way they write and the way their style comes across in their writing. Good article Didi I like following up on writing keynotes and courses so thanks for the links.

This is a great read. I'd recommend this to anyone anytime 🎉.

Thanks for sharing this. ❤️
