It's an index: one self-contained doc per language (sometimes per topic), not a single book or course you work through in order.How do I actually use this?Just open the file for the language you want and read the commented code top to bottom; there's nothing to install to use the docs.
Just open the file for the language you want and read the commented code top to bottom; there's nothing to install to use the docs.Is every language guide equally complete and up to date?Coverage depends entirely on community pull requests, so depth and freshness vary from one language file to another; some are detailed, others are shorter stubs.
Coverage depends entirely on community pull requests, so depth and freshness vary from one language file to another; some are detailed, others are shorter stubs.Can I submit a translation of an existing guide?Yes, translations into any language are welcome; prepend the language/lang-code tag (e.g. [python/en]) to your issue or pull request so maintainers can find it.
