I have strongly considered making an alternative set of documents consisting of a hopefully well-ordered table of contents and an introductory text that highlights the terms and features specific to UE4. The table of contents would point to the already existent documents in such a way that no section would use terms and concepts that had not been described in previous sections; the introductory text would go over the terms and concepts that require special emphasis or that have not been defined in any of UE4’s code architecture documents.

There should be a wiki holding documentation. A mirror of the official documentation + edits and new pages by community. and those guys would probably go nuts

Pretty much the same … C++ is like second nature to me after about 25 years of using it, but I was a little stumped when I first jumped into UE programming. Having been at it for a month now, I will say that one good starting point is actually blueprints. If you’re familiar with programming, you’ll immediately see what’s going on under the hood of the blueprints. But the nice thing about blueprints is that they quickly expose you to everything that the engine can actually do. Try running through the blueprint tutorials, then maybe migrate the behavior from one of those tutorials over to code.

Yes, this is excellent advise and it should be stickied or something, somewhere.
