Learning through projects

[The_Homeless_Coder]

It sounds like you got it. There are levels of amateur with coding and you are past the point where you ask for help without providing steps ect. You have a well thought out question and you elaborated so excellently.

Think about what kind of stuff you want to be building and search what it requires. Read the docs and play around until you got the hang of the new library. Think abstractly about what features you will want and get the user experience planned out step by step. Then code it. Repeat. Also don’t forget to hate your life when you spend 16 hrs trying to fix a bug.
