Except that until you know what you're trying to ask, you can't ask
Google for it.

Books and printed man-pages are far more readable than text on a
screen. It's nearly impossible to assimilate large amounts of
information from a scrolling webpage -- you need a book or magazine or
printout.

O'Reilly books generally have by far the highest content-to-noise ratio.
