Writing documentation? You need a programmer's editor

Richard Smedley is a technical writer for Couchbase, and is kindly delivering our next talk on writing documentation with a programmer's editor.

Richard has sustained high levels of productivity throughout his career by using a fifty-year-old open source command line editor, Emacs. During this talk, Richard will use Emacs to demonstrate exactly why a programmer's editor is the most effective way to tackle documentation tasks. (And he's not kidding.)

Richard is highly qualified, and has previously written to fill the shelves of W H Smiths via MagPi magazine, Linux Format, and many other journals that he hopes have now been productively recycled.

The first half of the meetup will be Richard's talk and a Q&A. The second half will be informal discussion and social. We will provide some light snacks and refreshments!
