ITauthor podcast #8 – May 19th, 2007 – The Dogcast

May 20th, 2007    1 Comment

The dogcast (from an original idea by Tom Johnson). In this episode of the ITauthor podcast I puff and pant my way up the Pentland hills just outside Edinburgh, walking my dog, thinking back to my first impressions of computers and software, and talking about documentation. This stream-of-consciousness, 43-minute podcast rambles on a bit, but it more or less gets across some of my thoughts about the direction software documentation is heading and the reasons why people like me might want to stop talking about technical writing and documentation and start talking about explaining and user assistance.
