Tech Writers: Are You A Future Document Engineer?

In “Document Engineering: Analyzing and Designing Documents for Business Informatics and Web Services”, Robert Glushko and Tim McGrath write, “Practitioners of document engineering will most likely come from other disciplines from which document engineering was synthesized. The principles of document engineering seek to find a balance between technology and business, between process and information, between bottom-up and top-down thinking, and between concepts and implementation. Successful documents engineers,” the authors say, “will do the same.” Read my recent book review in the July 2006 The Rockley Bulletin. Then, put on your headphones an listen to Jon Udell’s interview with Robert Glushko. If you’re ready for a career in document engeering, you’ll soon find yourself purchasing the book.
