No one in fact wants to Read The Fine Manual. 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.

This talk will walk you through lessons learned writing Microcopy in 
applications of all sizes.


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.
