Technical Writing for Developers
Pre-order my new book about how to use HTML and Markdown to write program documentation.
I'm pleased to announce that my new book is now available for pre-order!
With development teams evolving, developers and coders are increasingly tasked with not just the technical elements of their product or project, but also writing about it. Part of the "Pocket Guides" series, Technical Writing for Developers aims to be a swift how-to guide on utilizing HTML, Markdown and other key technologies like JavaScript and GitHub for document markup and writing, giving quick overviews on key topics and their practical applications for both developers and technical writers, especially those who are involved in a "Docs as Code" environment.
The book starts with a brief overview of technical writing for developers before jumping straight into core technologies, what they are and where it could be used, providing several "hands-on" examples to get you started. These are meant to be concise to give you a taste of each, to give you an idea of where to get started and how each technology can be applied and utilized in your project.
While developers who already know how to use HTML, JavaScript and Markdown
will get the most out of it, I think anyone will find this book very useful as a quick-start guide to writing with HTML and Markdown. This is also a great book for Technical Writers, Content Strategists, Product Managers and Marketers looking for a quick entry point to key authoring technologies in the "Docs as Code" ecosystem.
