It really ought to be the other way around.
Really?I don't think I can even once claim to have used a programming language that was so well documented that 75% of all the information you would ever need could be found in it's documentation.
For as long as I've been programming (20+ years), personal improvement has always been a case of sharing your experiences with your friends and co-workers, and listening to their experiences. Reading books account for roughly 15% of what you can learn about programming. The other 85% you have to learn by actually programming.
