Basics of Technical Authoring self-study training course page goes "live"

We’ve just uploaded the files and activated the Buy link for "Basics of Technical Authoring - a self paced, home study training course". In other words, we can now take orders from people wanting to purchase it.



This course teaches general, basic technical authoring principles and writing approaches suitable to user documents. It describes the entire documentation process: planning, writing, editing, indexing, and production. This book focuses on documentation for computer hardware and software. However, many of the concepts described apply to other forms of technical writing, such as writing about manufacturing environments, medical and pharmaceutical topics, and science.

As an author of nearly 20 years' experience I was a little miffed to get a personalised invitation to this course (and the DITA one), given that it explicitly says "This course is for people who have no experience of technical writing". Time to refine your database, Ellis.

We mentioned two courses - one for beginners and the other for experienced authors who need to develop their skills in DITA.

Apologies if neither course was suited to you.
