The web is huge and made up of many different components. There are so many different programming and scripting languages that a novice can become overwhelmed. It might be tempting for some technical writers – those not particularly well versed in computer programming – to become intimidated by the web and think that they should rely fully on programmers for the actual building of a website (specifically front-end development), but that is a mistake. All technical writers should care about and can learn front-end web development.

Hi, STC Summit Attendees! I am excited to see everyone in Washington, DC in a couple of weeks. In order to help you pick your sessions, I’ve highlighted the following from the Technology and Development track. As track manager, my team and I helped choose some wonderful sessions that offer a wide variety of topics. I hope you enjoy the conference and learn some amazing tips and techniques that you can take home and implement in your workplace.
It can be overwhelming to figure out what type of technology solution your company needs, which often leads to inaction. Companies today realize that they need to take advantage of content reuse in order to save time, save money, and generate higher-quality documentation. A successful content reuse implementation requires a well-planned, well-thought-out content reuse strategy and technology that effectively supports this strategy. Often, technical communicators must lead this effort because they are working with the content, tools, and writing teams who are critical to the success of any content reuse and management efforts.
