English 421Y: Technical Writing Online

First of all, I really appreciate the straightforwardness of the text, and once again, it offers direct and systematic methods for generating technical documents. I think that most people have, by now, made at least one version of a resume at some point, so there isn't much to say about this. But, 'Functional Resumes' are at least worth mentioning because I'm sure not many people have made this type of resume. The functional form seems to focus on experience related skills, where the archival resume is more of a list of 'what I've done so far' with a few skills listed at the end.

Typically when I'm writing technical papers,these issues, discussed in chapter three, are what are constantly on my mind. A lot of the ideas seemed quite intuitive, specifically the section containing the context analysis chart. For example, a hypothetical situation in which a factory is proposing a budget plan revolving around toxic waste expulsion from their plant.
