One of the greatest finds I made, years ago, was come across engineering books written prior to WWII. They don't assume "anything" and while it takes longer to get through a point, once there, education has been accomplished.

One of the skills is getting engineers to put themselves in the shoes of users and put aside much of the technical detail they know so intimately and tell a story without assuming the reader is an equal expert in the subject matter. In the software industry, it can be quite hard finding people who are both good designers and communicators. 73 de David M0DHO On 2011-06-29 22:08, Mel Farrer wrote: > I agree with one other element, the story must be at the level of the intended > reader. > > Mel, K6KBE ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
