Personal Technical Writing Advice ● Before you start writing, create an outline and build up your story from the outlines. ● Do not write about something you do not understand yet. ● Make “research” if you are new to the topic. ● DO NOT plagiarise content. ● If you need to use someone else's words, always give credit and provide reference. ● Don’t be pressured to start writing. ● One of the ways to get better as a software developer is to teach people what you know.
