At risk of repeating the other commenters up-thread, the best thing you can do to get started is use the code. Eventually you'll hit a bug or an undocumented behavior, and at that point you are the most-qualified person to diagnose the situation.

Even if you can't fix a bug you run across, reducing it to a test case or a demo script is massively useful.

Finally, don't underestimate the value of a beginner in reviewing documentation. It's really easy for experienced users to look right past all the background "well, you should just KNOW this" information they're carrying around.
