**Creating software is like composing a symphony,
Every note a line of code and every abstraction a harmony.
Layering instruments and sounds, we carefully craft our piece,
Adding in features that bring our work to life and (hopefully) prod release.
But the right command we must click to create a unified sound,
or else we try to put it all together but no rhythm will be found.**
As software composers, when we create documentation arrangements to guide others in performing our piece our job becomes significantly easier and our prose becomes much more effective if we begin by considering our users' interests, needs and experience levels. This results in higher-quality documentation, blog posts and technical presentations.
OBJECTIVES
After this session, you will know how to compose documentation and other software artefacts that empower your audience and improve the adoption and support of your product.
