I don’t like reading thick O’Reilly books when I start learning new programming languages. Rather, I like starting by writing small and dirty code. If you take this approach, having many simple code examples are extremely helpful because I can find answers to these questions very easily.

How can I define a function?

What’s the syntax for if and else?

Does the language support string interpolation?

What scopes of variables are available?

These are very basic questions, but enough to start hacking with the new languages.
