I love Learn X in Y minutes! It is a great reference (how do I do basic thing x in language y) or useful for teaching yourself the basics of a language if you know one that rhymes e.g. C# and Java.

I used it recently to get my barings in Bash and then used the terminology I learned from the examples to finish my glue code.

Was this code good and super idiomatic? I don't think so but I also don't care. That job is done and I am on to bigger and better things.

Much like Wikipedia with regards to research, it's an overview and gives you the tools to dig deep but it doesn't really "teach" you any given language.
