I report on the latest updates and best practices for developers of various topics.

tcworld

Video consumption of information was already increasingly popular, and in the past year, video consumption and usage has accelerated. There's an increasing amount of video versions of blog posts, livestreaming of tutorials, online office hours, and much more. In this practical presentation I look at how technical communicators can use Open Broadcast Studio (OBS) to create instructional video content.

heapcon

Interactive fiction (IF) occupies a curious middle ground between technical writing, programming, and creative writing. This presentation takes a look at the history of IF games, the tools used to create them across the decades, and how you can use your programming skills to tell stories.

IT Arena

Chris is back to see what Ukrainian entrepreneurs are working on.

All things open

The discussions on what constitutes negative, biased, and diverse language continue in many open source communities, often sparking heated, and strongly-opinionated debate. But if you have decided what language you want to increase, decrease, or change in your community, how do you enforce and track those changes? In this presentation I look at how to use the open source language linter tool, Vale, to check text (in supported locations and formats) for rules and styles you define. I start with showing how to setup and configure the tool, and then how to use existing rule sets, or create your own. Finally I show how you can track progress during initial language overhauls, and how to track violations moving forward.

LAST Clubhouse

Developers are users too! In this presentation I give a quick overview of the growing field of developer experience (DX), and how to tailor developer-focussed projects to meet the demands and needs of this very particular user group.

Fosdem 2021

This year at Fosdem I'm helping organise the Documentation tooling developer room, so drop on by.

Arizona STC

I cover the basic principles, tooling, and processes of "docs-as-code".

APIDays

API documentation can originate from many sources, and take many forms, so how do you ensure that the content is accurate and crucially, works? In this presentation Chris looks at options for testing, standardising, and checking your API documentation is as good as your API.

Write the Docs

User experience has been a fundamental part of modern products for some time, but for tools aimed at developers, there is a growing focus on "developer experience" (DX, DevEx). Documentation is a key component of developer experience. As people with an eye on making sense out of technical complexity, documentarians should feel qualified and empowered to improve more than just documentation.

Write the Docs EU

I'm back at Write the Docs EU again, but this time handling social media and the legendary writing day for the event.

I report on the latest updates and best practices for Kubernetes and Cloud-native computing.
