Technical writing is a subset of
technical communication, is used in fields as diverse as
computer hardware and
software,
chemistry, the
aerospace industry,
robotics,
finance,
consumer electronics, and
biotechnology.Technical writing (aka Information Development or Technical Documentation or Technical Publications) exists to communicate and disseminate useful information.
Technical communications are created and distributed by most
employees in service organizations today, especially by professional staff and
management. Writing well is difficult and time-consuming, and writing in a technical way and about technical subjects compounds the difficulties. To be useful, information must be understood and acted upon. Fortunately, tools and techniques are available to make writing more accessible and easy to understand.
