This is applicable in almost all types software, not just graphical ones like D3. Many software lack this and can be made much better/attract more adoption if there are more examples.
- alberth 6y agoFor all the hate people have for PHP, I must say their documentation is extremely easy to consume. Every function/method/class has code examples of actual usage (and many times multiple examples for different use cases). It also provides a section where people can post documentation comments per function/method/class. This has been there since nearly day 1. Wouldnt surprise me if this helped considerably in its overall adoption as a language. I honestly wish more language documentation provided this kind of format and accessibility.
