Summary

When we first learn to program, our programs are usually very short, limited in their functionality, and seldom more than a single file. For such short programs, written by a single person, we can keep track of the different versions of our program and describe to a new user how to install the program by writing out a description and instructions in a few files of documentation (perhaps a README.txt file or a short user’s manual written in Word).
