This manual is pretty nice. I usually just google when I don't know (or just forgot) how something works. Over half the time, I end up on the right page in the official docs. The rest of the time, on SO.
But I could imagine that, if I were about to do something quite different from things I've done before, that reading the relevant chapter in the book. For example, of course I've dealt with dates and times using Pandas. But I haven't used time spans. Instead of googling when I get stuck, I could read section 2.20.
- avnigo 5y agoThat's what I do when the language server fails me, but it's always good to have an offline reference to search in.
- rahimnathwani 5y agoYeah I think the language server doesn't help if you don't know (or can't guess) about the existence of something. e.g. if you don't know about pandas.Series.str then you probably wouldn't find df['colname'].str.upper just by hitting tab. So, yes good to have Google and also an offline manual that has approximately everything.
