Having knowledge about the
importance of documentation in every aspect of our lives was a very big
accomplishment to us. Documentation is like telling someone a story, giving
directions, showing step-by-step process, etc... but not in a verbal manner.
Documenting something was very important because it might help the other people
who want to learn something new that can help them answer their questions. Here
are examples of how documentation affects our lives. Tupe wants to learn how to
draw, he can look for different books about sketching, drawings and paintings,
and he can also watch video tutorials so that he can learn more techniques on
how to draw. As he continues doing it he became expert and able to draw amazing
drawings. Another example, a guy wants to know all the details about cars. He
can search for books, and videos all about cars. There are few examples of a
big significance of documentation to us. As you can see there are a lot of
examples of documentation that is related to a simple life of a person. Maybe
it is a form of a step-by-step process or maybe in a form of a informative
materials, maybe it show us direction like a map. So many use of documentation,
maybe we didn't know or notice that our everyday living has an aspect of
documentation.
Being good in documentation is a key to a good
document. Before you become good at documenting, you should know how to
construct a simple documentation. This will help you to enhance more and you
should also good at vocabulary so that you can use different words that fit in
your documentation. Having high-quality documentation is very important,
because the users can understand and learn to a high quality documents. It can
give more details and information to the users, it can also elaborate the thing
that is needed for the users to understand deeply. As I've said earlier you can
only achieve a high-quality if you know how to construct a simple document. As
you practice in documentation you gain more knowledge, techniques, and ways to
create high-quality documentation.
The lesson I've learned from the post was, documentation is
everywhere we cannot escape it. It has a really big role to our lives and to
the society. Learning about documentation was very significant to me, because
documentation is my weakness; I am not good at it. I've also learned that
documentation has four parts which is "First Contact", "The
Black Triangle", "The Hairball" and "The Reference".
These leanings can help me in my Course because IS was a course that is
associated of many documentation subjects and because of these new knowledge
maybe I can overcome my weakness and pass the subjects that is related to
documentation.
