Writing Technical Blog Posts About Coding Projects

What's this blog post about?

You can write code or write about code, and while both have their challenges, writing about code has its own unique difficulties due to the abstract nature of technical concepts. Effective technical writing requires a focus on what the reader wants from the post, using techniques such as humor, anthropomorphizing concepts, images, interactive examples, and code, while also staying focused on the narrative flow of the text. By prioritizing crucial information, removing unnecessary details, and using formatting tools like <code> tags, images, and bulleted lists, you can make technical writing more engaging and accessible. It's essential to incorporate technical terms into the narrative flow, avoid dryness by breaking up complex concepts, and provide clear explanations of code examples. Editing is also crucial in ensuring accuracy and clarity.
