to anyone who has to write and maintain any
type of document. "

"The most interesting parts for me were the exercises because I like the ‘hands
on’ approach. I find ‘to do’ is the best way
for me to learn. I also liked sharing ideas
with my colleagues and having the time to think
about how we can move forward with our documentation
project. I valued Philip’s input and suggestions."
