There is no substitute for simply reading the source code of the framework or library you want to know. You can go at your own speed, however fast or slow that may be. You know the code you are reading is always accurate and never out of date. And you have the opportunity to run into new ways of dealing with a problem that you may never think of looking up in the documentation.

- d23 12y agoThis is definitely what you ultimately need to be comfortable doing once you're familiar with a library, but I'm skeptical that it's anything close to the right approach when you are trying to learn how to use a monolithic codebase quickly. Finding concise, example-based tutorials / documentation seems to be the best way to get up and running quickly.
