  • Abstract
    Learning a programming language requires learners to spend most of their time understanding how to code correctly. However, in the real world, learners will make mistakes. Unfortunately, most guides that teach coding do not anticipate this. Often, the guides bore users who want to start programming right away with seemingly unnecessary information. This paper introduces a documentation set based on minimalism. The results of this study show that the new documentation is significantly better than the original traditional step-by-step documentation.
