I usually reply on the API reference which is quite excellent; and when I have a problem I can't solve, I usually find a ready-made solution in Stack Overflow. It has taken me a while to learn how to translate the Python doc to PyPlot. I guess I've been a slow learner. Some times I entertain the thought of making a copy of the API doc and converting it to Julia, but then I realize what a big task that would be, and that soon the doc would be out of sync.
