Smartphones and tablets have spread rapidly. This raises the question of how technical communication can take advantage of these new opportunities. This practical guide supports technical writers, software experts, illustrators, and company managers in the successful use of mobile technologies in technical communication.

About the book

The second, completely redesigned edition of the “Mobile Documentation” guide is aimed at technical writers and product managers who want to offer content as mobile documentation.

It introduces the different forms of the medium and explains how to determine the most suitable implementation for your specific application. The guide covers simple and quick-to-implement solutions as well as more complex and powerful concepts. The advantages and disadvantages of each approach are also presented.

In addition, the guide offers numerous tips and recommendations for successful mobile technical documentation – both in terms of content preparation and design of the user interface to the future-proofing of your own solution.
