Writing technical documentation

[@davem.8681]

Documentation is a subject that is highly underrated , for sure.

He is not. No docs === no product.

Thank you Fredrik. Your videos are really helping me become better at understanding the needs of software development.

[@FredrikChristenson]

Glad to hear it m8! If you have any question or requests let me know. Have a great day and thank you so much for watching!

Wish I would've noticed this video before my last interview coding challenge.

[@AshutoshChaudhary2k14]

I was expecting a video explaining UML diagrams, mocks, technical specification documentation, However, it ended being a tutorial to bookstack and some very managerial things. I am sorry but this is a misleading video title

[@shujahanif89]

If you found a good link for a video which explains technical specification documentation and other stuff mentioned by you, please share the link!

You two might be interested in www.writethedocs.org It's a global community of documentarians (people that care about well written documentation) and a great resource in general.

@@novaria Yes! I attended my first WtD this year and it was great, I'm seriously considering registering for the Prague and Aus/India conferences as well even if it means pulling all-nighters to attend :D

[@Cmppayne26542]

Agreed, I am really wanting to learn *how* to write effective documentation, rather than a video that feels like it is sponsored by bookstack…

[@rosyfajardo5816]

Thank you so much for sharing.

[@nlburnr1]

Man really enjoy your content you really add some thing new in this youtube development community thnx

[@FredrikChristenson]

Hi m8! Thank you I feel very flattered that you feel that way and thank you so much for watching!

[@versacebroccoli7238]

I almost always write a really bad first draft. I noticed I editorialize a lot and often more than half of the words I typed are useless. But rewriting helps.

[@flaviuse]

We use Outline now, self hosted and very simple

[@the_yb7]

is it free?

[@Doakio]

Great video. Search-ability is indeed king in documentation. To that end, we recommend never putting text annotation inside screen grabs. Rather, put numbers pointing to elements within the screenshot, and keep your annotation outside of the image, in plain text. Also, make sure you use Title Case When Writing Article Titles, Chapter, Titles, and the like. There were several instances in the video that showed a title without proper capitalization. Keep on making great content!

[@kingofyoutube1746]

Hi I'm asked to prepare process documentation about a feature of a social media platform. Can you please recommend what to choose and how to start doing it?

[@FredrikChristenson]

Depends on who the docs are for.

[@kingofyoutube1746]

@@FredrikChristenson you mean if it's for users or for company? It's asked for business analyst interview. So i think it's for the company

[@kingofyoutube1746]

@@FredrikChristenson can you help me pls

[@robertjennings397]

My shrink suggested documentation, writer, 35 years ago.

[@thelovertunisia]

Well I got to your channel through this same question. Why android apps do not have a documentation i.e. help menu like desktop apps which themselves often no longer have offline help.

[@granand]

Thank you, it is useful to me I am here first time, to have continuity please can you share the first video the dockers or the video which is pre-requisite video

Your MacBook battery was low and you didn't have it plugged in. that bothered me.

[@mayank_upadhyay_19]

Everyone have a basic idea of their device's battery performance, so don't worry :)

[@CayoBuay]

Misleading video, should be called Using bookstack with company terms in mind.

[@haraldlons]

Really good video

[@IMateme]

thank you very much! but please how to setup the Application ???

[@kene6753]

There's barely a mention of how to write a good technical specification. Please stick to the topic or the title of the vid otherwise, people might feel misled.

[@gzoechi]

Storing documentation in a database sounds like a poor approach. It should be stored in Git.
