Documentation and Training
n An important (and often overlooked) task is documenting the internal design of software for the purpose of future maintenance and enhancement. Documentation is most important for external interfaces.
n Common types of computer hardware/software documentation include online help, FAQs, HowTos, and user guides. The term RTFM is often used in regard to such documentation, especially to computer hardware and software user guides.
n RTFM is an initialism for the statement "Read The Fucking Manual." This instruction is sometimes given in response to a question when the person being asked believes that the question could be easily answered by reading the relevant "manual" or instructions.
n Some people prefer the backronym "Read The Fine Manual." Alternatively, the "F" can be dropped entirely and the initialism rendered as "RTM" (Read The Manual), or the more polite "RTMP" (Read The Manual Please).
