Program documentation plays a vital role in almost all programming processes. Program documentation flows between separate tools of a modularized environment, and in between the components of an integrated development environment as well. In this paper we discuss the flow of program documentation between program development tools. In the central part of the paper we introduce a mapping of docum...

Design patterns have become an important part of modern object-oriented design. It is necessary to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of different methods of pedagogical documentation in teaching design patterns. We compared patterns-style documentation with minimalist documentation. Patterns style disagrees with minimalism in that contextual information is not minimal it usually contains i...

High-quality software documentation reduces the maintenance burden and improves productivity by enhancing reusability. Well documented software systems are also needed for students to learn from designs and implementations of experienced engineers. Documentation is neglected in software education to a great extent. Neither documentation skills are taught, nor well documented systems are used fo...

Object-oriented programming has brought many advantages to the software engineering community. The reuse of existing software components and application frameworks can improve the productivity in software development considerably. The same object-oriented techniques, i.e., inheritance and information hiding, that ease reusing software, can be applied to documentation and thus, enable its reuse....
