Synopsis

Like its predecessors, the new edition of this popular guide uses a friendly, straightforward approach to help scientists and engineers demystify the process of writing and presenting technical information. Among the topics covered are gathering information, writing different types of documents, editing the work, and making presentations. New chapters explain how to write and design for electronic media, including multimedia products and the World Wide Web. Also new are chapters on how to write public relations materials and marketing and advertising copy, which are intended to help technical professionals acquire a broader range of skills-an important factor in this age of downsizing.

About this title

Synopsis

Designed for students or business professionals who suddenly find themselves responsible for writing a report or paper, this guide uses a straightforward approach to "demystify" the process. Expanded by the author from his original "How to Write Papers and Reports About Computer Technology", it shows you how to define your audience, gather and organize information and present it - in writing or verbally. The book defines high quality documentation and then proceeds to show how to explain your subject, use graphics with reports and papers and write the discussion or body of an article. Also included are tips on writing specifications, procedures, memos, proposals and analysis reports.
