Adding a user should not require a manual and developers insist they don't need one. This puts the burden on the web and desktop UI designer who must be extremely communicative with only a handful of words.</p> <p>This talk will walk you through lessons learned writing Microcopy in applications of all sizes.</p> <p>As a senior technical writer for ForgeRock, Mike Jang spends much of his time documenting how deployers can modify JavaScript to customize web applications. He has also written a couple dozen technical books, mostly focused on Linux certification, and is the author of O’Reilly’s Linux Annoyances for Geeks.</p> <p>Many will head to the Lucky Lab at 1945 NW Quimby St. after the meeting.</p> <p>Rideshares to the Lucky Lab available</p> <p>PLUG Page with information about all PLUG events: <a href="http://pdxlinux.org/">http://pdxlinux.org/</a> Follow PLUG on Twitter: <a href="http://twitter.com/pdxlinux">http://twitter.com/pdxlinux</a></p> <p>PLUG is open to everyone and does not tolerate abusive behavior on its mailing lists or at its meetings.</p> </div> <h3>Links</h3> <ul> <li><a class="url u-url" href="http://pdxlinux.org">Website</a></li> </ul> </div>
