Summary: New Online Documentation Tool Available
Comment: In May 2001 a new tool became available for writing online documentation: JSP Explorer . In his review on IBM developerWorks Alex Roetter said "JSP Explorer shines as a quick way to create interactive documentation for server side production and sample code, and a fun interface to tweak and try code while you are learning it". 
Now at v1.5, JSP Explorer is solid, scales well, and sports important features such as a customizable security manager and internationalization.

Summary: Designing and writing online Doc
Comment: Another long-winded thesis. It lacks the ONE thing that documentation managers and writers need: the tool. There is not a single example of a project plan or documentation design doc. There is no CD with templates. What a disappointment. By the time I finish reading this, my project will be due.

Rating: 2
Summary: Obsolete
Comment: This book was published in 1994. Even at that time it offered little new to advanced technical writers, although new writers might have learned a few things things from it.

Today, its obsolescence renders it useless. One example suffices: Horton advises writers to avoid using words like mouse, window, command, and file. "This secret jargon baffles users," he says.
