Documenting Your Code

Let me start off by saying this: Always, always, always document your code.  This is such an important topic, that I decided to put it before all other requirements for good code.  You may not be the only one who needs to work with it, or you could forget how you wrote it.  Either way, documenting will make your life much easier.  With that being said, there are several ways of documenting your code.  Each method has its benefits and its difficulties.  What you will find is that the most effective method is a combination of all of them.
