Magento 2 Developer Documentation

[sherrie]

Welcome to Magento 2! Before you get started, please be sure to check out our Magento 2 Developer Documentation. You might find the answer to your question there.

When asking a question, please be as specific as possible. The more details you share, the better someone can help guide you to a solution.

 Hello, for those who are not satisfied about M2 Developer Documentation what are there any alternatives? 

Is there any tutorial about development?

[DominicW]

I have a feeling you feel the same way I do

That's why I posted this suggestion.  Be interested to see if anything happens

I have been through this documentation and I have tried to use the swagger automatic documentation for the APIs.  The old documentation for Megento 1 was much more thorough.  It gave a better explanation for what is being done by the API, what the different parameters mean, and expected returns.  The swagger does list inputs and outputs but only in the most basic sense.  The few words added to the API in swagger usually do not contain usefull information.  In general they just restate the name of the api endpoint with a few added articles and conjunctions.  

The fact that I have to dig through the source code to figure out what is actually happening is a bit much for just writing an integration to get and ship orders.

Is there any better more detailed API documentation?

Also perhaps some feedback from one of the Magento team

Where in the developer docs can I find even the simplest info such as how to create a console script?

You have an excellent product but you really need to put more time and resources into your developer documentation.

This is what you are competing against: https://symfony.com/doc/current/console.html
