Documentation.... Documentation never change.... (end fallout war never change reference) I don't particularly like documentation. Sorry, let me rephrase that. I LOVE good documentations, I just don't like doing them. That being said, I need to start to really learn how to do it properly and meaningfully so that I too can generate great documentation which everyone loves to refer to but doesn't like to do. So where do I start? From the legend himself, Joel Spolsky. You can read them from his old blog but I'm just going to do a summary here for my own reference.

Next, he outlines what should be in a spec . In short there should be A disclaimer A paragraph saying
