Documentation…

As much as I love tech books, it’s also fun to sometimes be able to read through the documentation of software tools. Documentation is the go-to resource on whatever piece of software you are learning about.

Simply google “*anything* documentation” and you’re sure to find what you needed, usually an official source, freely on the web for all to access.

Microsoft has a great documentation home here.

Mozilla MDN Web Docs has AMAZING documentation here! You know Mozilla, they’re the people behind the Firefox web browser. Here they present an evolving learning platform for Web technologies and the software that powers the Web. Learn HTML, CSS, and Javascript. Not sure where to start with web development? Start here.

Dev/Docs is also a great resource that combines multiple API documentations in a fast, organized, and searchable interface.

Some of mine faves are below. You can find more through a simple Google search.

Documentation List:

C++ (isocpp.org)–The Standard C++ Foundation. Also see here for more C++ documentation(cplusplus.com/doc/).

Linux (kernel.org)–The Linux Kernel documentation.

Slackware Linux (docs.slackware.com)–Slackware documentation.

Microsoft (docs.microsoft.com)–The home for Microsoft documentation and learning for developers and technology professionals.

MDN Web Docs (developer.mozilla.org)–Mozilla.

Python (docs.pythong.org)–Pyhton

Vim (Vim)–Their statement about documentation warranted placement here: “The most useful software is sometimes rendered useless by poor or altogether missing documentation. Vim refuses to succumb to death by underdocumentation. With a book to extensive help files to a tips collection, all audiences should be pleased.” —via
