About this title

Synopsis

If there is any constant in the world of computer technology, it is that computer manuals are of inferior quality to the technology they are supposed to explain. This book is a breakthrough. It is the first hands-on manual that lays out the basic principles and concepts for developing computer documentation and provides step-by-step guidelines for putting a manual together. The authors, both technical writing specialists with extensive teaching and consulting experience, give the reader expert guidance in analyzing the audience for a computer manual; organizing documentation; presenting the content: front matter, body, and back matter; developing usability and retrievability aids; providing online documentation; packaging the document; and ensuring quality. Numerous photographs, diagrams, and charts illustrate each phase of the project.

Store Description

I have a large inventory of children's books, cookbooks, collectibles, classics, first editions, signed books, history, biographies, science, textbooks, and more. Each book to me is a "precious jewel" and I try and describe it, giving you a good understanding of its content, and also its condition. One example, I have a John Muir book where he has written in the margins all through it to correct mistakes made by the publisher. (this was confirmed by John Muir historic site for me) I have over 50,000 books and some are quite rare from 1800's to 2020's. I've been collecting books for over 50 years and now am a spry 80 and going strong. I try and get books out same day as order comes in and love it when someone writes that they's been looking for a book for years and finally found it with me!
