Having to learn libraries has definitely been the roadblock for me. I understand the "basics" that most of the tutorials and things I've used so far tend to cover (loops, data structures, etc.) but that always seems to be as far as I get before it feels overwhelming to try to learn libraries.
So many tutorials and learning materials/examples use libraries, but they often never really cover how to learn these thoroughly or provide any methodology for doing so. It's always just thrown in so they can show you a code example.
Maybe reading library documentation is the only way, but I feel like from a learning perspective if someone could crack the library-learning process and make it easier or more welcoming that it wouldn't feel like such a brick wall.
I'm not sure if the problem is the learning materials or me, to be honest. I really should just dig into a standard (or other) library and try to learn it back-to-front I suppose and see if that tough process (that I always seem to quit...) pays off.
