It will get you through most of the basics when using the API set. Its what I used years ago.
If its any consolation, NSS's documentation is even worse. I banned NSS's use in code under my purview because I could not ensure it was being used correctly (that's how shitty their docs were at the time). Its a shame that Mozilla makes millions being Google's whore and it could not even hire a technical writer to produce a decent set of documents (perhaps that's changed now).
