Prose for Programmers

This is a book for programmers. It is a guide to mastering the most difficult programming language of all: human language.

Just as with programming, we write with particular goals in mind. That goal might be as simple as reminding someone about a requirement or as complex as justifying an entirely new architecture for a product. But in every case we write in order to achieve something.

This book will teach you how to achieve those goals more effectively with clearer, more persuasive writing.

It is a work in progress

The first three chapters are content complete.

• Why should developers study writing?
• General Rules
• The Writing Process

And there are four chapters to come.

• Writing Structures
• Audience
• Genres
• Other Resources

For more detail, take a look at the outline.

Can I get it in EPUB/MOBI/PDF?

Yes, you can.
