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. Click one of
the following links to access the self-paced online pre-class material

Barry Rosenberg, Google Staff Technical Writer and co-creator of these courses,
will lead the live sessions.
We hope you can join us.
