Docs in Practice: Behind the State of Docs
Wallacespace Spitalfields, 15 Artillery Lane, London, GBThis month, we're joined by GitBook, one of the most widely used and recognised platforms for publishing documentation. Join us for an evening with Addison Schultz (Developer Relations Lead), Tal Gluck (Developer Advocate), and Stephen Ashby (Content Marketing Lead) for an exclusive behind-the-scenes at how they do documentation themselves.
In the first half, they’ll take us inside the tooling and workflows from docs.gitbook.com. Then, they’ll take us through the widely distributed State of Docs Report: How they ran the global survey, the industry trends it revealed, and where they believe documentation is headed.
