If I've got the attribution right, Helen wondered: <<I remember seeing
some posts on documenting APIs on techwr-l over the past few years, but
searching the archives for 2003 and 2004 doesn't return anything. And
wasn't there an article on this very subject on the site itself? I just
can't find it... Anybody got any links? Thanks!>>
Sorry for the delayed response... just got back from celebrating the
annual feast of the deceased turkey with my American in-laws, and I've
been no-mail for several days.
You're probably thinking of the Gordon and Gordon workshop on API
documentation. Haven't attended this workshop myself, but I've attended
a couple other G&G seminars over the years (plus many of their talks at
local STC events) and they've all been excellent. From the favorable
comments on this topic in techwr-l, I assume the API workshop is up to
their usual standards.
Have a look at <www.thirdwavestudios.com/gg/workbooks.html> for
details; they produce both the books from the workshops and DVDs of the
workshops. I've included Marc Proulx, the producer of this product, in
this reply so you'll have his e-mail address and can contact him
directly for details.
Disclaimer: Manny Gordon, who developed the API workshop, is a friend
and colleague. Marc, ditto. But I believe that I'm being objective in
recommending the work of both to you.
