Course overview

Stop questioning yourself and start writing

Documentation is good for your product, your team, your career, and your inbox. If you have expertise to share with your users, docs are the best way to do it.

Join this cohort to learn from technical writing experts on how to turn complex code, specs, and use cases into excellent docs that enhance your user experience and scale product adoption. Don't let a lack of docs skills get in the way of improving your product, advancing your career, or finding a new job.

We'll teach you how to bootstrap a new documentation set, create processes for ongoing contributions, maintain document quality, and most importantly, get leadership to care.

Who is this course for?

Developers, product managers, and engineering managers who are underwater with their docs responsibilities.

Confident coders and product owners who already write some documentation, but never had formal training on how to do it right.

Code owners who deserve a vacation! Gain the freedom to take time away from work instead of everything breaking without you.

What you’ll get out of this course

Document like a pro

Technical documentation is not a mystical art form—it's practical communication. Learn how to do it right and do it quickly, while leveraging data-backed frameworks, templates, and style conventions.

Outline and execute

There's a lot about your code you already know—but the key is to transfer that knowledge to your users efficiently. We'll show you how to effectively go from outline to finished document to serve your users and save yourself time.

Find the cure for user pain

Software products are alive and always evolving. Learn how to find the sharp edges and gaps that cause your users pain, and how to provide a cure with great docs.

Build resilient and repeatable processes

Learn how the pros consistently create and maintain great docs that are well-organized and easy to find, whether it's for a new product launch or cleaning up tech debt.
