I actually find it a bit difficult to learn libraries in Processing without tutorials or examples. In some of the new IDEs, you have the ability to jump to definitions that you allow you to find out more about the methods, review comments, etc. You can also do this by navigating to the folder where the library is and reviewing the classes, but its just a bit more work. But I have found that this method of learning allows you to discover things where no tutorials have been made yet.
