Madza • Edited
  • short overview on where the presented tool stands in the bigger picture
  • the accent on practical use of tool, by actually writing the code using multiple approaches to same problems
  • follow best practices and explore different design patterns
  • quick references to previous tools to achieve the same functionality, allowing us to compare other alternatives and evaluate them based on specific needs
  • an insight on what actually happening under the hood when tool is working
  • links to quality, curated docs/posts to study more on in-depth topics of tool
  • potential drawbacks of using the tool
  • most importantly use thought-ought, beginner to advanced structure when presenting the concepts of tool and combine everything above with KISS, YAGNI and DRY.
