so what is technical writing ?
Well according to my trusted friend google ,
technical writing or drafting technical communication used in technical and occupational fields, such as computer hardware and software, architecture, engineering, chemistry, aeronautics, robotics, finance, medical, consumer electronics, biotechnology, and forestry. Technical writing encompasses the largest sub-field in technical communication.
In noob terms Technical writing is just creating and managing content in Tech and tech related topics. Have you ever downloaded an application or you're new to a programming language and you probably downloaded a book , read and article . Thats technical writing. You are probably wondering why i added watching a video to examples of technical"writing"? I believe every video is just an article recorded with video .Writing encompasses various other fields. In tech it's called tech writing, but people read articles on fashion, health , food and many other fields, so you can't be restrained to a particular field.
