Thanks, greatly admire the whole idea of teaching the documentation from scratch. Newbie Dev like me suck at this. Most tiresome job but you made it look super fun

[@nemeziz_prime]

You read my mind, I was just asking around in dev groups and forums as to how developers document their projects

[@paulsingh11]

Excellent video on API Documentation topic. However, there are some parts missing from the video, like video from 1:02:20 to 1:05:50 is missing where API Style Guides is discussed. Please fix this.

[@WriterThinkerDogger]

This is a fantastic course. Even though I have been working with API doc for years, I learned a lot. And I plan to share it with clients. Is there a cert for this? I thought I heard you say there was but somehow I missed the link.

[@holyshiett]

An old lab partner told me his company story involving his director making a bunch of teams take an course to learn formal documentation. Then the org made it a priority to document everything for the next sprint. At the end of the quarter, a majority were laid off lol.

Right about at the 1 hr mark (2 Good docks matter for improved governance), your deck does not display. Several places throughout the video, the display blinked off/on but I thought it was my monitor. Guess it actually wasn't me! LOL

[@laxmirani6846]

The fact after 4 months there is 27 (28 after me) comments proves nobody likes making documentation.

[@stefanalecu9532]
