Resources for Scientific writing

Question

I'm running a three-week course for undergraduate Computer Science students with a high level of English. I've been asked to help them with 'scientific writing'. Their main need seems to be to write reports of software projects they create.
Any guidance on online resources from colleagues and students gratefully received (I suspect you may have some ideas Franke.)

I found thisw cite on the Web:
Writing for Computer Science: the Art of Effective Communication, by Justin Zobel. Singapore: Springer Verlag. 1997.
I don't have any computer writing style guides. I use the journal the article is written for.
You might try this:

It's a list of books and links to scientific writing manuals.

Sorry I can't be of more help.

Thanks Franke, I'll chase those up.
