BASIC programming ironicly may return better results than if you search for something about a more mainstream current language e.g. python. I often find the first few results are some search engine spam... tutorialspoint or geeksforgeeks etc, when a link to the API would be the logical first result. (Usually the first link to the api is for 3.4 or some random version also)
