I prefer to read in order to learn a specific thing that I need and if I do not
know where to look I may waste a lot of time that is not productive for my
purpose.

suppose that I want to learn how chess programs use a book.
I do not need to read to all the source code in order to do it but if I do not
know where to start I may waste a lot of time in order to find the thing that I
need and I do not like it.

I prefer to see some simple programs that know only one thing
(for example a simple program that only knows to use book and does not know to
search and resigns when it is out of book).
