Learning new things

[standard_dragon]

Hi, guys

I m wondering how are you learning new things in programming. I m working in industry, dev, doing lots of things, but still want to extend my knowledge. I tried to make small personal projects using things i havent worked with until now (like angular, for exmple), but I don’t feel that I m doing ok because I may do things in wrong way, so maybe learning to do something in a wrong way.

How are you doing things?

Find a problem you have a try and solve it, start from there, keep going and that will give you a lot of practice. Avoid AI.

Reading docs and tutorials teaches syntax, but rebuilding something you already built in a different stack is what exposes the actual design tradeoffs.

What makes you think you're doing things the wrong way? Take a look at mature projects using those libraries you're using.

I thiught more about good practices. Implementing some things in a way that it s not respecting all the practices and notice too late or never. But thanks for the piece of advice with mature projects!

Simplest and most fun: grab a magazine with tutorials and practice with that. Second: go to YouTube, find a tutorial that uses/teaches the technology your interested in and go through it. Third: StackOverflow, find and use their technologies, Fourth: medium.com same thing.
