In addition to what other commenters have said - man pages are nice references, but in a lot of cases they seem to be kind of obtuse. They'll have a short technically correct description of every individual flag, but not really what you'd use the flag for, or how it combines with other flags. Most man pages need a lot more examples. I like blog posts like this, which are pretty example-driven. They lay out an actual use case, and then walk through the flags necessary to achieve that goal. A man page starts with the flags, and assumes you'll know when and why to use them.
