Official documentation hierarchy

The "Official documentation hierarchy" refers to the prioritized order of source materials one should consult when attempting to quickly master a new technology or tool.^[600-developer-tools-quickly-learn-a-new-technology.md] This hierarchy places official documentation (specifically official demos and documents) as the most important resource above all others.^[600-developer-tools-quickly-learn-a-new-technology.md]

The Hierarchy of Resources

To effectively learn the "outline" of a technology and solve specific problems, the following progression is recommended:

  1. Official Documentation & Demos: The official website, documentation, and provided demos are considered the most critical source of truth.^[600-developer-tools-quickly-learn-a-new-technology.md]
  2. Video Tutorials: Videos are useful for quickly understanding the general content and scope of a technology before diving into details.^[600-developer-tools-quickly-learn-a-new-technology.md]
  3. "Hello World" Implementations: Simple introductory tutorials are used to grasp the basic usage and purpose.^[600-developer-tools-quickly-learn-a-new-technology.md]

This approach follows a "big picture first, details later" strategy.^[600-developer-tools-quickly-learn-a-new-technology.md]

Practical Application

While the hierarchy provides a roadmap, actual understanding is solidified through problem-solving.^[600-developer-tools-quickly-learn-a-new-technology.md] Real learning occurs when you implement the technology ("實作"), encounter issues, and subsequently resolve them by referencing the hierarchy, which clarifies what you didn't initially understand.^[600-developer-tools-quickly-learn-a-new-technology.md]

Using Mind Maps (導圖) is also suggested within this workflow to visually organize and generate the necessary technical outline.^[600-developer-tools-quickly-learn-a-new-technology.md]
