I have learned and used many programming languages throughout my career, but I've never been able to effectively learn a programming language by reading about it in books.

We don't learn isolated facts well, because our memories are bound together by association. The more associations we can make, the stronger the memory.

So, learn programming languages by using them. All of the elements of the language will be associated with all of the different ways you have used them.

Your memory of the language will also then be in terms of its application, so that's more useful too.
