Content
I will do a workshop using GitHub and the readthedocs.io tutorial so that everyone who is willing to bring their laptops and create a GitHub account BEFORE the workshop can gain some hands-on experiences with docs-as-code in a technical writers' team. This subject is especially valuable for people working in software companies as they might already be familiar with version control systems and markdown files.
Takeaways
You will experience how to use developer tools such as GitHub for writing documentation. You will add and edit docs and create pull requests for your docs, merge and push your changes exactly as in software development processes.
Prior knowledge
Everyone working or having experience in the field of technical documentation in software companies can participate in this workshop. Even if you have no idea about the tools mentioned above, you can prepare for this workshop by informing yourself about the tools used and give it a try.
If some people are not familiar at all with processes in software development departments and just want to "watch", we might also work in pairs.
