More than final words

This chapter looked at how to explain complex concepts with more than words and how to decide what method works best in which context. The chapter covered code examples, images, video, and interactive experiences and the tools and best practices for creating them. However, you shouldn’t feel limited to these media types alone or using only one. The nature of learning and the way people learn is changing rapidly, and anyone charged with helping people understand something must find the most effective learning methods their audience needs and wants.

While not easy to craft, words are relatively easy to create and maintain. Everyone has access to a text editor of some form. A lot of the options I covered in this chapter are a lot more work, and you’re probably wanting some advice now to help you save time and work more efficiently. That’s exactly what the next two chapters cover. See you there!
