Technical Writing Course by Google

This one’s aimed at software engineers and computer science people but it should help anyone aiming to write better documentation :slightly_smiling_face:

Every engineer is also a writer.

This collection of courses and learning resources aims to improve your technical documentation. Learn how to plan and author technical documents. You can also learn about the role of technical writers at Google.

Are these courses for me?

We’ve aimed these courses at people in the following roles:

  • professional software engineers
  • computer science students
  • engineering-adjacent roles, such as product managers

You need at least a little writing proficiency in English, but you don’t need to be a strong writer to take these courses.

You will find these courses easier to understand if you have at least a little background in coding, though you don’t need to be an expert coder.

These courses focus on technical writing, not on general English writing or business writing.
