Hi Guys,

I trust you all are doing great.

Any software documentation expert in the house? Please how did you acquire the skill?

Please I want to learn Software Documentation, so I am looking for a place where I can acquire the skill. I am currently in Lagos (Island axis).

Any suggestions, please?

The best way to learn how to write documentation is to read documentations like your life depends on it.

Then have some samples of your work. Maybe rewrite a popular documentation or write documentation for a code you've written yourself.

You have to be a developer and be also familiar with the code you want to document though.

Can you train me?

Yes. If you can pay $10/hr.

Can you write and run programs?

Don't be deceived. You can't write documentation without the knowledge of what you want to write about.

Laravel documentation for example was written by the author himself. Shey you get?

No, I am not a coder

However, I tend to be one.

So, I cannot document software without the coding knowledge?

No na!
But I'm curious to know what makes you more interested in documenting software rather than building the software itself

Yeah because some codes can be obscure, like Java Documentation , you need some basic coding background at least
