Part 2: Our Friends, the Programmers
----------------------------------------

If you are a technical communicator who writes about software,
programmers must provide much of the information you need, and
programmers must review your documents.

But programmers are a breed apart. Intelligent, high strung and
skittish, programmers often bolt or become mulish when brought face to
face with a technical writer, even ones bearing chocolate chip cookies.

This presentation by Manuel Gordon will give you insight into what makes
programmers tick, and suggestions for how to adapt your working style to
theirs.

web site.
