Docs for Developers

Docs for Developers demystifies the process of creating great developer documentation.

The book follows a team of software developers as they work to launch a new product, teaching through examples, templates, and principles how to create, measure, and maintain documentation.

It covers topics such as creating friction logs, performing user research, writing different types of documentation (READMEs, API documentation, tutorials), and publishing and maintaining documentation alongside code releases.

The book is ideal for software developers, technical writers, and other technical roles involved in creating and contributing to documentation.
