Pretty much this. I do normally read the docs of whatever I'm working with first, but often they contain some ambiguous or missing inform, or assume I know something else which I may not. Sometimes its not even the docs that suck, but the site hosting the docs. Microsoft used to be ready bad about this (they're a good but better now) and I swear it used to be impossible to find what I wanted on MSDN without a search engine. I recently also tried to build a certain gcc frontend, and the site had the strangest navigation. Top level links to each documentation section, but then you had to click two small forward and back buttons to continue reading the docs for that section. Ot took me a few minutes to figure that one out.
