I think we may be somewhat similar in this. I tend to prefer HOW-TOs to man pages. Even though I know I should invest the time and it will likely pay off big in the long run, I have never quite managed to grok man pages. I much prefer several variations or working examples from which I can mix and match and extrapolate.
