Alan Pringle and Sarah O'Keefe have provided an excellent introduction to the field of technical writing. For those just starting out in the field, you'll understand precisely what you will face. For those who have been around awhile, you'll find nuggets of inspiration and true-to-life humor that will help you face another day.As a tried and true technical writer, I found the chapters on "Getting Information," "Editors -- Resistance is Futile," and "Indexing" to be excellent explanations of key parts of the technical writing process. Technical Writing 101 is well-written, summarizes the technical writing process with appropriate technical detail, and is enjoyable to read! You can't go wrong with a text like this!
