The TensorFlow tutorials are terrible for a library this popular. Two specific instances that bit me this week:
* The RNN tutorial is just a code dump, with barely any comments. And since it implements some state-of-the-art network, it has several optimizations that are guaranteed to drive a beginner crazy.
* Their seq2seq tutorial doesn't run anymore due to API changes. Their official reply (for months now) is "we are writing a new tutorial, so wait until we are done".
I fought (and lost) for switching libraries based on how bad the tutorials are, which is literally the opposite of what you'd want a tutorial to achieve. You can't get worse than that.
