If the API is well documented enough to have decent tutorials in it then perhaps, but that is not what most of the API's I have seen possess, though I find java to suffer from this even worse then ruby. That is one thing I was REALLY impressed by python about, a number of there core libraries were extremely well documented in a tutorial fashion, which then ended in an API. That means you find out how it works, how to use it, and then when you have questions on the gritty details you wade into the deep part. If you just hand someone an API, I find it very slow to start using, and often wind up misusing the library the first time through. As far as pickaxe goes, I think it should be medium length. It could be a touch longer then it is now, maybe a little denser, slightly smaller font, etc, but no I don't want a 2000 page "How To Program In ..." book. Obviously there is a balance, but it's really nice to have a few examples as templates to expand upon. Definitely include a examples for each library, and then give more specific info on some of the more important general purpose libraries. Charles Comstock
