Comment on How do you approach learning a new programming language or framework?

Start with an ambitious project
-
Get stuck
-
Curse everything about said language or framework, “why did they do it like this”
-
Read the docs and find out why they did it like this
-
Feel stupid
-
Finish the project (or at least the part you actually cared about) with your new knowledge
-
Feel smart
-
Repeat until you know said language or framework

Easy to get caught in a perpetual loop with steps 4 and 5

You should be learning a bit more with each loop though.
Even banging your head on the wall against something eventually gets you somewhere.
