Decoding AI for Technical Writing
Balraj Bawa's book is an engaging, insightful, comprehensive, and timely take on this burning subject.
Bawa delves into the origins and phases of both Technical Writing (TW) and Artificial Intelligence (AI), and then succinctly lays out how these fields will interplay and define the world of technical content. The content is rich with research, analysis, and packed with neat insights, borne out of his vast experience in the Technical Communication (TC) industry.
Bawa follows the 3 C's of TW to the T: Clarity, Conciseness, and Consistency. His writing stands out for these qualities in an era where it is a challenging task to create and consume content intelligently (pun intended!). I found it easier it to read and comprehend than most of the online training resources (videos, courses, and discussions) available on this subject.
Whether a part of TC or not, you will find this book enriching and useful in the long run. Grab your copy now!
