Lesson 4: Writing Procedures
Lesson Summary
There's no question that the ability to write clear and correct procedures is absolutely paramount for anyone writing software documentation. It's also true that there are a lot of rules. The good news is that most of us have a lot of practice with procedures. We may not call them procedures, but we encounter sets of instructions all of the time in daily life in everything from recipes when we cook to driving directions when we travel. Thus we all have an inborn recognition of procedures and an inherent understanding of how they work. You just need to add common sense and good writing skills to that understanding and you'll be able to write your own clear and easy to follow procedures.
