Should a Newbie Look at the Documentation

I stared at MDN Javascript Reference.

Sure I could click on concepts I'm already familiar with and try expand my knowledge from there but looking at the screen I see so much;
  • concepts beyond my skill level
  • concepts within my skill level that immediately escalates in complexity
  • distracting links
  • wall of texts, noise ...
  • etc etc etc
My mana capacity is not deep enough at this moment to stare at these esoteric texts. I really don't think it is a good idea. I'll take a look at it another time when my arcane levels are prolific.

Of course becoming a good enough graphics artist is a big part of my plan in becoming a web developer.
