Any program, to me, is just like speaking english. The class, or function
name might not fully mesh with what your cognitive structure assumes it to
be.read through the imports first, and see the classes and functions come
alive with experience comes intuition of what it does, and the instances
that can be utilized with it. The term RTFM, and google always comes to
mind as well.
