"A jump start for a writer new to SDK documentation... If you can’t get to a workshop and you learn well with multimedia, the DVD is worth getting." Eileen Bator Lead Technical Writer Convera Technologies "Breaks a difficult subject down into manageable chunks... Manny’s presentation is easy to absorb... This course pays for itself with dividends." Gayle Lang Technical Editor "I bought this DVD and found it very useful. There is a lot of information about how programmers think and what they expect... in addition to detailed information on APIs and SDKs." Mark Giffin Independent Technical Writer & Consultant "It's a very good starting point and is well worth the money. If you can't afford individual or group training, this is an excellent solution."
