Don't feel bad. Pandas is powerful but it has (at least when I used it) some truly abominable documentation.

Agreed the documentation could be a lot better. I wonder about a visual approach to using DataFrames and Series with all the different methods to demonstrated more clearly what's being done.
I really liked this visual explanation of pivot and reshape:

You mean excel?
And some annoying interface decisions, like d['x'] is a column but d[1:3] is a row slice.
