I think that's an occupation hazard of software development. :)

As much as we're all working towards the ideal of having as much documentation readily findable within the IDE as possible, I've found it's helpful with every language I've learned to employ Google or other web search engine when a problem lingers.

In the olden days the issue was that there were just too few learning resources for LC, but these days it's very much the opposite: between this list, the forums, Stack Overflow, social media, and countless blogs and other web sites, now the problem is that there's too much info in too many places.

Definitely the better problem to have. :)

And while we experiment with ways to provide a central index for all that ever-growing volume of stuff, Google provides a pretty good one we can use right now.

When learning SQL, JavaScipt, bash, Python, HTML, or most other languages, the web is really the only tool we have. With LiveCode we have much more in the box, but a good web search engine is still as useful for us as it is for any other scripting community.
