DOCUMENTATION

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.
