Documenting your application program

Many places establish standards for program documentation; make sure you are aware of your established standards.

Documentation for other programmers
Documenting a program is not something you do at the end of the project; your documentation will be much more complete, and more useful to others, if you record information about the program as you structure and code it. Include any information that might be useful to someone else who must work with your program.
Documentation for end users
In addition to documenting the design of the application, you should record information about how the program is used.
