phpDocumentor2 - your source matters

phpDocumentor2 - your source matters

Your source tells more about your project than you would probably think. Its structure, inline documentation and attached meta data all form a description, perhaps even a definition. phpDocumentor2 analyses your source and converts this into clearly readable and searchable piece of documentation. In this talk I want to show you how to effectively document your source.
