Announcing: Docs Like Code

Announcing: Docs Like Code

The ebook is now available on Lulu.com! Updated to add: now available in paperback and ebook on Amazon, iBooks, Nook, and Kobo.

Much appreciation to the people and teams who made this possible.

  • Diane Fleming and Kelly Holcomb wrote and edited with me and worked tirelessly to craft this collection of inspiration, use cases, and ideas into a real true book.
  • Andreas Jaeger wrote articles with me about CI/CD and documentation reviews, plus his sharp eyes reviewed early drafts.
  • Richard Hamilton, XML Press founder, tested the GitHub instructions and uncovered issues in early drafts.
  • Eric Holscher, cofounder of Write the Docs and Read the Docs, read the early draft and wrote great input and an awesome foreword.
  • The OpenStack docs team and multiple dev teams have been an inspiration and constant source of education through the years.
  • The Rackspace docs team went through this transformation and brought the development teams with them to share the vision of great docs.
  • The Cisco Metacloud docs team, completely eager and ready to use GitHub for a brand-new docs site.

I am grateful for all the assistance and humbled by the opportunities I’ve had. Share your stories of treating docs like code by writing a use case yourself!

I had a great talk with Ellis Pratt of Cherryleaf Technical Writing consulting last week. Here are the show notes, full of links to all the topics we covered.

At the beginning of this year, I worked hard to summarize my thoughts on API documentation, continuous publishing, and technical accuracy for developer documentation. The result is an article on InfoQ.com, edited by Deepak Nadig, who also was forward-thinking in having me speak to a few teams at Intuit about API documentation coupled with code. Always […]
