Developer documentation is an essential resource that provides developers with comprehensive information, guidance, and examples for effectively using APIs, frameworks, libraries, or software platforms. It's also a powerful tool in developer relations because it provides all the necessary information during the onboarding process, keeps your users informed on changes and plans, and helps you maintain relationships with your users, build a community, and encourage collaboration. Using a design thinking approach, this book aims to provide an easy to follow blueprint for building successful developer documentation drawing from the valuable insights gained while building the award winning platformOS developer portal.
