A Proficient Technical Writer for Programmers
Most of the time, a computer programmer designs software programs and develops user interfaces so that users without the same level of technical expertise can use that software through simple point-and-click actions.
Usually, a graphical user interface acts as the translator between the software code and the user, negating a further need to know the command structure of technical language. However, who do you turn to when you need a translator to explain the work a programmer does? This is where technical writers come in.
Like any other profession, a technical writer needs to master certain skills to be a valuable asset within a team. The world of communication and technology has evolved dramatically over the recent years, and in order to assist programmers, technical writers can provide an understanding of the technology used to create the software you provide, that spans beyond complicated terminology and allows complex matters to be accessed by regular people.
