Overview
Rooted in core rhetorical principles, Technical Communication Today presents computers as thinking tools that powerfully influence the way we design and deliver technical documents and presentations. Written in user-friendly prose with helpful visuals, the text will serve you as an accessible guide to draft and design documents, prepare material for print or web publication and make oral presentations.
The 6th Edition emphasizes innovation and entrepreneurship. Revised chapters, new case studies, exercises and projects are designed to help you capitalize on your own unique creativity and prepare you to write clearly, speak persuasively and design functional, attractive texts for today's innovation-based, entrepreneurial workplace, and your own entrepreneurial efforts.
