    • Who uses MkDocs today?
  • Discuss what we need to do to create great documentation and how MkDocs can help.

  • A tour of the key features currently in MkDocs
    • Adding MkDocs to your project.
    • Using themes in the documentation and making customisations
    • Publishing your documentation with ReadTheDocs and GitHub pages.
  • A look at the up and coming features in MkDocs and how you can help make these happen.
