You may not have realized it, but when Sitecore released version 6 of its CMS in July, we released it together with a documentation package of 10 excellent documents, covering everything from installation over configuration to workflows and security. But since then our documentation team has not been sleeping - far from it! Today the documentation count stands at 19 excellent documents with a total page count of 704 pages. The documents are split up in general documents, references and cookbooks. Especially the API cookbooks are really cool!

These general documents include:

• What's new in Sitecore 6
• Installation Guide
• Configuring Production Environments
• Glossary

The references include:

• Client Configuration Reference
• Content Reference
• Data Definition Reference
• Presentation Component Reference
• Presentation Component XSL Reference
• Security Reference
• Workflow Reference

The cookbooks include:

• Client Configuration Cookbook
• Content Authors Cookbook
• Content API Cookbook
• Data Definition API Cookbook
• Data Definition Cookbook
• Presentation Component Cookbook
• Presentation Component Troubleshooting

If you are registered on the Sitecore Developer Network, you can download the documents from the Sitecore CMS 6 References section.
