Problem Description

As a graduate developer I have little experience with automated deployment. While learning autoUpdater the guide didn't explicitly say what autoUpdater is and what it is used for.

Proposed Solution

AutoUpdater guide should explain:

• what an autoUpdater is,
• why I should use an autoUpdater,
• advantages of using an autoUpdater

Example

An autoUpdater is an automated deployment system that regularly updates your users with the latest version of your application. The advantages of using an auto updater include:

• Automating the update of your user applications,
• Removing the need to download a new setup file for each update

Alternatives Considered

If the guide isn't edited, then new documentation should be added.
