That depends. As a reference, they're nice, but as a guide, they can be rather annoying.

MSDN is for reference, and Google is the guide. Not at all annoying, if you know how to search.

I like books. I can't stand reading anything really lengthly on the computer. Plus, I don't have to sit here and read, I can go outside or take it in the car/plane/train somewhere.

Get on kazaa and search for the book your looking for, someone has likely zipped it or something and put it  up.

Ah. I still don't know what to search for to find the guide I'd need to be able to write a driver for a PCI tuner/capture card.
