For me at least, I learn a lot faster by actively doing something (i.e. working on a toy problem/algorithm) than just reading the docs.

I suppose the implication was that you read the docs as you build something — the proverbial learn on a "need-to-nerd-basis"

I'm the same, I can read 1,000 technical pages no problem and make you a great talk, but I'll remember nothing past a month (or 12...) if I don't actually use it.
