About Perspectives On Software Documentation: Inquiries
Product Description This book is designed to address the randomness of the literature on software documentation. As anyone interested in software documentation is aware, the field is highly synthetic; information about software documentation may be found in engineering, computer science training, technical communication, management, education and so on. "Perspectives on Software Documentation" contains a variety of perspectives, all tied together by the shared need to make software products more usable. Review "Thomas Barker and a distinguished team of contributors provide something different--a compendium of recent intellectual and practical trends in the field. The book will be most useful, I think, for students of technical communication, researchers in both university settings and the computer industry, and anyone else interested in taking stock of the current state of knowledge and the future possibilities of theory and practice in software documentation. Barker has performed a significant service for the field by soliciting the chapters and editing this interesting volume...To his credit, the editor of this collection has selected chapters based in both cognitive science and ecological or social psychology. He allows diverse perspectives to thrive in a dialectical, or complementary, relation within the covers of a single book. For this reason--and because of the sheer originality and quality of many of the contributions--the book is a valuable source of research questions and researchable observations. It also contains some fine practical advice. This breadth of coverage makes the book both useful and provocative for anyone who writes, uses, or studies software documentation." -- Jimmie Killingsworth, IEEE Transactions on Professional Communication About the Author Thomas T Barker (Author)
