    Just keep practicing hard. The reference is there to help you.

    You can always check the API to make sure that you have passed proper arguments to functions. Basically, an API is a set of functions and classes to common programming solutions.

    Lets take Windows API for example.

    To master Win API you should know how windows works, its architecture, etc.

    I guess every API reference documentation provides contents of classes and prototype functions and the documentation can be searched.

    I don't know about other APIs but in Win API they've also provided example codings in the references.
