I disagree. Unless you are familiar with reading those specs and/or
the subject area, reading a specification (any, and certainly this
one) is a prescription for frustration and slow learning for 999/1000
learners. There's a lot of noise and tech talk that will confuddle the
average learner.

But, everyone has different learning styles. Some folks do best by
reading a book. Some work best when instructor led (classroom or
CD/DVD). Some learn best by immersion - just grab a couple samples and
then try to get a job done... hunt as needed for more info. And a few
work best by simply reading a specification and then jumping in.

I'd suggest that whatever learning style has worked most efficiently
and comfortably for the OP in the past is no doubt the way he tends to
learn - and the best choice here.
