Documentation is somewhat dispersed, now let's see where we can learn something about this thing...
- Follow the video tutorials and browse through the slides at Openhelix.
- Read the basic materials written by the gurus themselves: The User's guide and the FAQs
- Type in (manually) a couple of custom tracks in different formats
- Subscribe to the mailing list or search through it. Try not to ask too silly questions, you'll regret it one day, as they might appear as the first hit when someone is searching for your name on google... :-)
- Look at the old documentation website with lots of developer documentation * Mirror the browser on your machine, search through its mailing list and read the documentation in src/product
- Read how the original annotations were created, in the makeDb-files and create your own annotations as textfiles
- Load them onto the browser: Read Jim's Documentation how to add your own tracks to your own browser (in kent/src/hg/makeDb/addTrack.doc) and Charles Sugnet's presentation about this
- a similar place with hgSearchSpec docs and statistics can be found completely off-track
- Install the source tree, compile it (comment out the -Wall in src/inc/common.mk) and play with its tools, searching through the archives or this wiki when you have problems, or browse the list of Kent source utilities available on this wiki. Don't expect to understand what is available, it's not possible to remember them anyways. :)
- Sequence a genome of a random animal and put it into into your browser
