Thanks for sharing.

I'm wondering what 'Pacific Time' is? Any ideas?

*Google online Technical Writing sessions*

-----

Every software engineer is also a writer. Improve your technical writing
skills by taking one of Google's free technical writing courses. We've
aimed these courses at people in the following roles:

   -

   professional software engineers
   -

   computer science students
   -

   engineering-adjacent roles, such as product managers

The courses are free, fun, and valuable to your career. Thousands of
Google software engineers have taken and loved these courses. Note that
these courses focus on technical writing, not on general English writing
or business writing.

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.

This autumn, we're offering the following two courses:

   -

   Technical Writing One, which covers the critical basics of technical
   writing.
   -

   Technical Writing Two, which covers intermediate topics in technical
   writing.

Each course consists of the following two parts:

   1.

   self-paced online pre-class material
   2.

   virtual live sessions

Though not a requirement, we strongly recommend doing the self-paced
online pre-class material prior to attending the virtual live sessions.
