They need to start with the introduction, the tutorials, the books, even classes (many are available for free on youtube). The reference documentation is for someone already somewhat familiar with the language, but can't remember the exact calling sequence, or order of arguments, or exactly what gets returned, etc. The MOST important piece of documentation needed is the precise signature that concisely presents that information. That is much more important the accompanying verbiage. If one hasn't yet learned what "()" ":D" or "-->" mean, I would kindly suggest that they should review the introductory documentation or some tutorials prior to delving into the detailed technical reference documentation.
