 101 for exposure to Professional Writing and baseline concepts
If you have not read it, I suggest "Technical Writing 101". This is a 101 book and is not a complete writer's guide (Strunk n White, Gregg, etc handle style and similar books cover advanced templates and structure).
It is a great tool for professional writing exposure and basic understanding of the process. Such as how Tech Writing differs from normal writing, how to work with subject matter experts (SME) in a political manner, and even a bit on resumes and getting into the field or freelancing. It wraps up with a reference section of online resources and societies to continue your learning.
I keep spare copies to give as gifts both for those interested in the career of Tech Writing and to ease interaction with difficult SMEs. I also have had a few friends that borrowed it for guidance with term papers. Again it is an introduction to professional writing and process to which most college students have not yet had exposure. This is also a great tool to initially train new hires when you would rather have a common reference point.
 A good 101 book
This is a good introduction on what to expect when you enter the world of technical writing. It is a very quick read with minor value as a reference. It says 101 and that is what it delivers and very succinctly.
Great!
The book was great! Easy read and helpful tips. It came in excellent condition, as promised. Thanks!
Great resource item
A good book for anyone looking to establish protocols and consistency in a published documentation.
Straightforward and clear
I thought this book was exactly what it said it was: a 101-level focus on technical writing. From the skills required by a good writer, to a technical writing process, to the task-oriented focus of user guides, this book covered all the basics, and was even written with a sense of humor. I am purchasing this for my technical publications department, because I think it's good to review the basics as a team, and there are specific topics that are newer to the team, such as how to write for globalization.
