Technical Writing Style (Part of the Allyn & Bacon Series in Technical Communication)
Advanced  technical communication books are becoming more and more available. However,  each book is solely devoted to a specialized topic such as technical editing,  design, illustration, usability testing, and online documentation. Despite all  of these introductory and advanced books, not one is available specifically  devoted to the challenges of style in technical communication.  This 12-point approach offers the most current and  comprehensive instruction available in achieving an effective style in  technical documents. It shows that technical prose style varies from the highly  formal to the colloquial, from the pretentious to the plain, and it  demonstrates the many stylistic strategies writers should consider for every  technical document they write. Anyone who has to write  professional and technical documents, specifically, engineers, software  developers/consultants, medical writers, professional technical writers.
