"Technical Report Writing Today" provides thorough coverage of the technical writing basics, techniques, and applications students are likely to encounter in both their academic courses and their future careers. Its practical presentation of varied examples and exercises helps students internalize the skills necessary to produce clear and effective documents and reports. Annotated student examples--more than 100 in all--illustrate different writing styles and approaches to problems. A chapter on Developing Web Sites introduces students to the basics of effective web site creation by presenting professional and student examples and references to current practices.
The topics were hit or miss for me. The early chapters, about why you would write a technical report, were a bit dull. I thought the chapters in the middle of the book were great, especially the ones on Technical Writing Style and color theory. The chapters at the end were far too specific in application to keep my attention. I would give it three stars if it weren't for the fact that I find my self referencing the mid chapters quite a bit since I finished reading this book.
