Is there any example where a library/framework's creator has the best getting started documentation for learning how to use it?

I'm lazy and not very academic, and I feel like I always end up following a Medium or Hackernoon tutorial and using the official API docs for supplemental reference. I feel like this has been my experience for Flutter, React, ReactNative, Docker. I'm actually curious what folks' favorite 1st party docs are.

I needed to use only official docs for Laravel and before that CodeIgniter.

Also I really like React’s documentation. Previously, I had used random tutorials to get started but recently I went through their official docs to fill in gaps in my knowledge. Now I wish I had started with official docs in the first place.

it's an outdated opinion probably, but K&R 'The C Programming Language' is a gem.[0]

If this is outdated, could someone please suggest something superior? Was thinking of grabbing this for a friend.
