Technical writing

    I got a very special experience on last week and it was a workshop in WSO2. It was like a dream of mine became a reality, because it was the first time that I went to WSO2.

    The workshop did on the topic of technical writing. I didn't know about a job position called technical writer before the workshop. It was a good opportunity to learn more new things. Technical writing is related with English language and it is about using the language correctly. as well as it is about writing user manuals or comments of a code or many other things. Things we learnt from the workshop was valuable. It was not like a usual lecture and there were so many things.
    They explained about technical writing and technical writers. As well as, we were taught some English grammar parts. And after that we had some exercises to correct the sentences that had some grammatical errors.

    After the exercises we had a small competition and it was a group activity. We were to write a user manual for a user who wants to withdrawal 1500 rupees from an ATM. They selected a winning team gave some gifts.
    After the competition we got refreshments and after that there was a fun activity. It was a group activity as well. In the fun activity we had to think about an object and write four sentences about the object that describe it. Actually it was very fun. The winning team of this game also was given a gift.
    By the time, we reached the end of the session and lastly we had some photographs with the team. It was very interesting session and we learnt so many new things.

    Apart from the workshop, I could see the working environment of WSO2 and it was very interesting place. That was my first time that I even entered to a software company and it was a great day and a great feeling.
