Problem Set 8 - Documentation & Retrospective

So far in this course we have built things and in the process understood various aspects of how to build web applications.

If we want users to actually use our application, we must provide them with a manual or at the simplest a "how it works" page.

The process of coding is the best way to learn software engineering, and very often we learn just as much by making mistakes as we do by getting things right.

pset: Create a help page for your application. Then take a step back and write about what you learned, what mistakes you made, and a future roadmap for your application.

Learning Objectives:
  • Understand how to create a simple and effective help page
  • Understand how to learn from your mistakes
  • Understand how to communicate your ideas (technical or otherwise) in writing
  • Understand how to create a product roadmap
