No. That's the best that _you_ can do. I tend to learn at least as well from
API docs. Someone else will learn a different way. Lots of people prefer
tutorials like you do; lots more prefer API docs. Probably most would rather
have both.
Try not to dismiss a form of documentation or whatever just because it's not
what _you_ want to work with. We need all of them equally, and we need all of
them to be equally good.
