The way most people do... Skim through enough of the book/tutorial to
figure out the basics of the syntax and to get something to run. Then
copy and paste an example from the web/MSDN that mostly does what you
need. Rinse and repeat.

Now I think of it, the great enabler of this approach is not having
pointers. As Joel Spolsky points out, there's a real divide between
those who can handle malloc and those who can't. Are we all VB
programmers now?
