Ask HN: Best way to learn a new framework/technology

2 pointsby himanshuy12 ปีที่แล้ว2 comments

I am a seasoned developer and learning new frameworks/technologies is part of our life. Everybody says "Read the documentation." but after reading 3-4 pages of it then I get distracted. So here is my approach: I start with a very easy use case in mind. After getting an overview of the target framework, I will:

Step 1: Find use case related methods in the documentation.

Step 2: 99% time Step-1 does not work. Find a tutorial on that use case.

Step-3: If a good end to end tutorial is found. Repeat the process for next use case. Else Step-4.

Step-4: Ask on Stackoverflow. Repeat the cycle for next use case.

I may never use these frameworks in production but never get full confidence in my learning.

This is a good approach or you can just check or add links to your fav framwork/ language in this link bank on github, which is in development repo and has all links to trusted blogs, videos etc. https://github.com/theharshbhatia/Getting-Started-With
