The readings from professional journals and Web sites offer insight and advice on specific communication topics, including writing for the Web. Model documents in every chapter illustrate a comprehensive array of technical documents and Web pages, and many show successive drafts so readers can analyze changes made during the writing process. An extensive section on career correspondence includes guidelines for traditional, scanned, email and Web-based résumés, so readers learn about the principles of contemporary business writing. Guidelines for Web writing and design include citation of Internet sources and present Web pages as models for discussion and exercises.
