Why is the documentation of some programming languages so terrible?
I come from a Java background, so I might be a bit spoiled, but everything I tried to do with C#(forms, mvc) was either nowhere explained or was really poorly documented. You end up having to read up stackoverflow answers and youtube tutorials just to write a hello world or try a feature.

Get it. Read it. Use it AND MSDN as reference. It will also explain WPF.

msdn is the worst doc ever
The problem is not the documentation. You're just dumb.
Does anyone think the Python documentation is any good for getting information quickly? Why are the doc pages like a full tutorial with a walls of text?
Why can't it just list out the methods of a class in a table and tell me the arguments, return values like Java & STL?

This book is useful? I picked it up for free from a college I was working at one summer. They were throwing a whole bunch out so I grabbed one and never touched it. I just assumed it was shit because it was a community college.

What are you talking about there are litteraly zillion samples and examples and all the apis documented on msdn.
If you're autistic or lazy that you can't even google search you can even press F1 while your mouse is over ANYTHING in VS and you'll get documentation about it.
Stop spreading FUD over your own incopetency.

I actually didnt know about this, cool.
Still, Java documentation is miles above C#.

I'm not sure about C# but half of the winapi C examples don't compile, or throw runtime errors on anything newer than WinXP SP1. Either way I don't trust MSDN for anything but function signatures. Most structs are right as well but there are a few that are out of date or have the wrong reserved space.
