Documentation matters

“I love documentation!!” … said no one. But let’s be honest, what’s worse: having no documentation or having bad/outdated documentation? To make the situation even more awkward, documentation seems to often be nothing more than an afterthought for metadata and data projects. As much as we may dislike creating and maintaining documentation, it is (regrettably, unfortunately, critically) a necessary element that helps others consume data. In this episode Juan and Tim discuss the do’s and don'ts of documentation. They're joined by Will Briggs, a data.world solutions engineer, who shares his tips and tricks to make documentation fun... seriously. We promise. -- As always, you're welcome to join us on Zoom each week as we record the live episode. Visit data.world/resources/webinars/catalog-and-cocktails/ to sign up.
