Verbal learners will love the rev documentation. They learn best by verbal communication. They pick things up by reading or listening. The documentation for this type of learner is fabulous. Kinesthetic learners understand things by taking them apart, putting them back together, practicing with the parts. Getting in there and swinging the hammer, pounding a few nails, hands on kind of thing; that is how they learn best. With rev, they will learn the most as they play with the cook book, open up the scripts, seeing how they work, modifying them to see what happens. The rev documentation is OK here, not great, but it has been improving in this area.
Exactly thats the point I was talking about on this list since it has started. Finally I gave up. Thanks that you Dave came up and explained it much better than i could. But, how du you think you (we) can get this in to the head of verbal, left brain, digital and sequential working heads of a programmer?
As Paul Looney observed at last night's RUG-LA meeting, the documentation is nearly completely devoid of screen shots.
Paul's own manual for his IT Works product provides an inspiring contrast: hardly a page doesn't include at least once screen shot, often more, so readers can more easily grasp context than would be possible with text descriptions alone.
I believe Paul's point applies to all types of learners: even the most verbally-inclined learner will also respond measurably well to illustrations.
