    Documentation , can someone help me in this???

    I am doing a project for my GCE advance level.There is a specification and syllabus for this project but it is not clear on what to write for the documentation part (we are supposed to implement something In Visual basic ,this I have done(Video Library system),and to include documentation about the project which I am not sure how to do),our teacher is also sort of new to the school so he is also not sure on what to include,Our school is also a new school and we are the first batch for the AL exam,so there are no others students to ask and basically I do not know anyone from other schools.Can anyone give suggestions on what to write?Please?

    Do you know how to get to the northeast corner? Of what? I don't know, the northeast corner.

    Tell your teacher that if there's no goal, there's no way to know if you've reached it. You can't answer a question that isn't asked and, in this case, the question is "what?" Not what anything, just what.

    Your problem isn't finding an answer, it's finding a question, and it's your teacher who has to decide what the question is. If he can't, it's the administration that has to decide. Someone has to ask the question - the answer to an unasked question (that's what this assignment is) is silence.

    Print this out and show it to the teacher if you like. It's an exercise in logic.

    usually a project documentation shuold include the case study of the project, project design, flow-charts of the project or the proposed application, table structures and also the real code...
    it should have

    0. Bonafide Certificate, Team Members, Tutor details
    1. Index / Table of Contents
    2. Case Study
    3. Benefits of this Project over existing application or manual system
    4. Flow-chart of the software
    5. Database design
    6. Codings
    7. Conclusion

    I hope this will help you.

    Use Cases for each module or section are also very beneficial.
