Where do I start with understanding SKSE?

[Lazauya]

I really need to jump into SKSE and understand (at least the gist) of the inner workings of SKSE and Skyrim. I understand how to use the Creation Kit, Papyrus, and I know C++ relatively well but the fact that SKSE is basically undocumented is extremely daunting. The project that I am working on is not something that I can use Papyrus for, unfortunately (I tried).

 

I want to be able to understand any aspect of the game. I'm willing to read through any manual or book about the subject, but I really don't know what this kind of reverse engineering is called or where to start learning or what base knowledge is needed.

 

So does anyone have any good starting points? Like information or tips or something on understanding programs and large code bases? Practically anything would help, thanks.
