What is the difference between "Tutorials" and "How to guides"?
- jeffreygoesto 2y agoIt is explained well in the video, well worth watching. Tutorials are teaching a method, like which ends of the pliers you grab. They do not assume a lot of domain knowledge. HowTos pick the user up where she stands with a concrete problem and walks you through a possible solution of that specific problem. Like how to use pliers to twist a wire just firmly enough to hold two things together.

- mevric 2y ago+1 for recipes I have provided recipes in my documentation for complex projects, making it a time-saver for both me and my audience.
