Hmm, you're right, I agree, but you need to understand a language before working on a project (OK, maybe that's my style, maybe others interlace working + reading).

But the original poster claimed info was just so hard to get and I said it wasn't.

Horses for courses, ok. In reality it's books + SO + lots of online info + your local expert (there's usually one at least, though expertise is relative) + transferable skills from other languages.

All I'm saying is you need that info, and it's there, one way or another. There's so much info now out there compared to when I started programming. It's there, use it.
