Every time I have a serious question about how something works in the Linux kernel, I use it as an excuse to do a dive into the code: http://lxr.free-electrons.com/

I still look through other sources, including man pages, books and a lot of googling. But sometimes I just want to see what it is I'm dealing with. I do this with all code bases I deal with. I think it's a good practice to get into.

I like to read cross-referenced code too. I built "SherlockCode" a while ago as a generic tool to browse code but I haven't done anything with it in a while. Here is a sample of a symbol in a file in jQuery:
