"Have you ever read a piece of API documentation and thought it was a mess? Maybe it was incomplete, badly organized, or in general just not great. There’s a good chance it was quickly thrown together by someone who had no idea what they were doing. In this talk, we will discuss the things Taylor wished she knew before starting to dive into the world of writing docs and developer focused content. We will discuss how people actually read documentation, different types of docs and when they are appropriate, and docs navigation techniques using design principles. Also, we will learn more about the importance of focusing on language, including why naming matters and error messages as a form of documentation. Lastly, we will talk about tools and tactics to enable other team members to write documentation."
