[…] what we call documentation is fundamentally not one thing, but four. Understanding the implications of this, and how those four different things work, can help improve most documentation.
- Teach, Don't Tell - Steve Losh - For those who claim that source code, tests, or literate programming are sufficient documentation.
- Keep a Changelog
- Literate Programming in the Large - Tim Daly - I'm no longer a fan of literate programming, but this talk remains humorous, insightful, and inspirational for documentation in general.
