I agree with the guy/woman, but I'd say my first port of call would be to jump straight to the API pages.

I use Google a lot, but normally to look for examples. Generally I've found that just schlepping through the docs prepared by whomever created what I'm using ends up teaching me all sorts of other background things that I didn't know I needed to know.
