8 days agoHow do I get better at understanding API docs without a tutorial to walk me through the basics of how the library works in the first place? Once I have an idea of some of what the library does and how a few commonly-used functions work I can somewhat handle the rest, but getting to that point in the first place is pretty hard for me if no getting started or tutorial section exists. And so I’m very intimidated by a lot of libraries…
I also don’t generally use Python as my primary language, but NumPy has pretty good docs in my opinion!
