Exploring API documentation

Learning Java Head First

I purchased a copy of Head First Design Patterns. I read the first few pages and I was impressed by how accessible the content is, I actually remember what I read and I want to keep reading more.

Making information accessible is the first and most important step in good technical documentation. I love adding simple and easy to read illustrations to my own documents. A diagram, line drawing or even a simple model that shows how things connect together in context make a big difference.

Based on what I read, I ordered Head First Java, 2nd edition and Head First Object-Oriented Analysis and Design: A Brain Friendly Guide to OOA&D.  I didn’t intend to go on a book buying spree but I felt like it was the right thing to do.
