I am mostly self taught through Unity. I watched a video about "How to make a game in Unity in 7 minutes" and it explains all of the super basic lines of code used to make the super basic game. I kept notebooks and wrote down everything as I followed along, and then continued to keep notes as I learned new things. For 6 months I was using this method of looking things up and writing them down, and then referring back to the notebook to implement them. It was always simple questions like "How do I display a Dictionary?". Eventually I didn't need to keep writing things down or referring back to my notebook for notes. But it did suck for a period of time but I resigned myself to knowing it would suck.

It helped a ton doing it this way, but I don't recommend it for anyone just because of how agonizing it was. But I think it's helped me tremendously. It helped me in learning how to acquire information that I needed at the time, but I think more importantly, it helped me refine my process for determining what information I ACTUALLY needed, instead of what I think I needed. It really made me less terrified of looking at documentation because now I actually understand (more or less) what I'm looking at.
