1. Research the topic to learn. Make it informational not didactic.
2. Read the documentation.
3. Create a 'Hello, World' application.
4. Build a small application using what you're learning alone.
5. Improve the small application using popular frameworks and libraries.
6. Build the application that you want to.

Few advices from me - a 48 years old. Do not press yourself with deadlines, the more you press the less it gets into your brain. The calmer you are the better.
Find yourself time to get away and do some physical engagements, gym, walk whatever you like, at least one hour a day.
Find yourself time for a good night sleep. You may get away for a while with less sleep but at some point it will come around and hit you badly. Nothing like sleep deprivation hurts the thinker's performance.

Learning the general philosophy and theory of a new skill is such a crucial step. Similar to learning an irl language, you will have a much easier time retaining new information if you understand the culture and history behind it. You will start to naturally anchor the specific stuff back to the general concept, giving you a place to store it in your mind basically.

Great tips! My best advice would be to dive in coding right away after learning new concepts and experiment. Learning programming isn't like reading a novel, It's more like building a house, you learn a bit then you get to work, get stuck, learn some more and so on!

This was great advice! Love your channel, it's been helping me get through an intense 6 month web dev boot camp. Thanks so much for putting all this content together and sharing it for free!

I've been a high GPA student for the last 6 semesters of my BCS degree but in my 7th semester, I've taken up Web Dev course. And I'm finding it so difficult to keep up with my instructor (who's really inexperienced and doesn't know how to teach). I'm used to learning from MOOCs and textbooks, but Web Dev is a completely different experience for me. I hope I get the hang of it soon. Your videos are helping me a lot. But maybe I'm slow at Web Dev.

# Research topic- what, why, how, pro-cons, libraries
#docs-get started
#hello world app, focus just what you are learning
#small app+ framework, use references when you're stuck
#app you are interested

Kyle, thanks! Great explanations on several topics. Two suggested topics: Class objects converting from the pre ES6 function objects. Also could you discuss closures? Thanks!

The Hello World app is really like a confirmation that everything is set up correctly. So definitely don't skip this step.
