Docs for Developers: An Engineer’s Field Guide to Technical Writing, 2nd Edition by Jared Bhatti, Sarah Corleissen, Jen Lambourne, David Nunez, Heidi Waterhouse
Requirements: .PDF reader, 10 MB
Overview: Learn the craft of documentation for each step in the software development lifecycle, from understanding your users’ needs to publishing, measuring, and maintaining useful developer documentation. Well-documented projects save time for both developers on the project and users of the software. Projects without adequate documentation suffer from poor developer productivity, project scalability, user adoption, and accessibility. In short: bad documentation kills projects. This new edition has been fully updated and edited taking into account the needs for developers and tech writers today, with new content relating to AI, automation and LLMs. Docs for Developers demystifies the process of creating great developer documentation, following a team of software developers as they work to launch a new product. At each step along the way, you learn through examples, templates, and principles how to create, measure, and maintain documentation—tools you can adapt to the needs of your own organization. Code samples are a critical part of effective developer documentation. Text and code are different languages, and it is code that your reader ultimately cares about. No matter how clear or beautifully articulated your words, nothing beats a well-crafted code sample to help your readers get started or to demonstrate how to use a particular feature. A good sample can say more than the prose that describes it while providing a useful frame of reference for your readers to build upon.
