Why is Documentation Important?

Learn about the importance of reading documentation.

Do you need to read the documentation?

Yes, we know it can be intimidating to read documentation, but it is the only way to make sure our knowledge is always up to date. What we mean by documentation is the documents provided by the technology we are using, such as React Native, JavaScript, etc.

All the courses on Educative’s platform, including this one, will use the methods and libraries available at the time of the course creation. We’ll try our best to keep the course updated with the latest versions of the libraries and technologies. However, in real-world situations, we cannot just refer to a course or a video.

There might be a case in the future where we’ll need to use a different syntax, library, or technology. Therefore, we need to be able to read the documentation of the libraries and technologies we are going to use.
