what is the best way of getting acquainted with a frameworks api in a quick way?
is it by reading everything class and its members from top to bottom?

A:
Check out the documentation for overview pages, read them, try the framework's samples, if any. Start off with a sample and modify it, until you get to know the API better and better ... that's how I do it.
Of course it depends on the quality of the framwork's documentation. If there's nothing than a list of interfaces or functions and no usage samples and no one to ask, I'd better drop the framework quickly.

You can't get an instant feel of it. It's just not possible without having some experience with it. I'm sorry, but it's the truth.

If there is a tutorial start with it. Try out the sample examples write code that uses the framework. All this will take time but that is the quickest way to learn :)
