Imagine a chemistry lab tutorial aimed at 9th grade students getting “as a non-chemist, this reads as gibberish” comments from first graders. Nobody would blame the tutorial authors

I tutor Maths. I have a Year 12 student who has forgotten things they were taught in Year 8, and the teacher has done no revision of it in class. Now guess why this student needs a tutor 😂

People need to start putting in the effort.

The people writing the documentation, yes. They need to say what the prerequisite knowledge is, and include links to it for those who don't know it (or remember it). Only takes a few minutes to do that. See Creating MAUI UI's in C#
