I remember learning to program C in the 1990s as a teenager, and often taking a long time just to learn how to do something very simple. This was mostly because the compiler-provided documentation was sparse, and the books that I had only had a single point of view.
Now, I can Google "[language] [task] example" and read through 2-4 examples of how to do something. Then I can go back and look at the docs and they make significantly more sense. Often what would take 4-6 hours, or longer, to figure out from just the official language / API documentation can be figured out in 20-40 minutes.
