title: Is there any thorough, broad documentation of Twisted that is better than the official site?
body: <p>I've been looking at twisted for a while now. It looks interesting - it seems like a good way to leverage a lot of power when writing servers. Unfortunately, in spite of writing a few web servers using twisted.web (from reading other people's source and an extremely dated O'Reilly book) I've never really felt like I had reached an affinity with twisted... a level of understanding that actually <em>gave</em> me some of the power it seems like it has.</p>
  
  <p>I think I need some good documentation to arrive at a better level of understanding - I simply don't have time to pore over the source, and other threads on SO have mentioned <a href="http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/wiki/Documentation" rel="noreferrer">twisted's official documentation</a>, which is patchy at best, absent at worst, and occasionally very out of date.</p>
  
  <p>Is there anything else out there that is more thorough, more forgiving, and more useful, or am I stuck with another classic, boring STFU and RTFM even though TFM is not helpful?</p>

  <p>In response to JP Calderone's comment that I'm just having a bitch, to some extent I guess I am, but I think the breadth of the question is valid considering the breadth and value of Twisted and the lack of obvious, thorough documentation. I have a few things in mind that I wanted to investigate, but I've been getting OK results just hacking things together and asking for specifics when a deeper, broader understanding is what I'm looking for is, in my mind, not helpful.</p>
  
  <p>The contrast that immediately springs to mind is Django... I can read over the (very thorough) Django documentation and not necessarily know how to do everything it can do immediately, but I can get a really good overview of <em>how</em> I might do everything I needed to do, and know exactly where to look when the time comes.</p>
