TLDR:

1. Go to the official website and look for quick start guide. They usually cover the very minimum to get your feet wet. It gives a taste of what the technology/framework is all about. Read and actually do the steps.

2. Take a YouTube/video course. This will give a good progressive learning with a guide. This should give a fair idea.

3. If your career depends on this new technology, pick a good book. Don’t have to follow end to end but get a good grasp of concepts. Don't have to do all the exercises but understand core concepts.

4. Build something from scratch. Take the technology in isolation and do a project with it. This will reduce the mental overload of using the technology with several other technologies as it usually happens in regular jobs.


This order is recommended but all steps are not mandatory. Depends on how deep you want to dive depending of the relevance of the technology to your career.

Thanks to your courses ive really had fun ad gained alot of knowledge of Spring / Spring Boot with JPA ( many back ends ) and building out a very professional looking API with swagger2. These are great steps to follow for anyone wanting to make their time count.

the way you teach, always inspires me to learn more and more.

[sametgurguri]

1: QuickStart
2: Reading a book for that technology.
3: Video Courses (JavaBrains of course is the first)
4: Building or exploring something concrete(Returning to Book or Videocourses for refreshing the logic when stuck and figure out where a'm not doing right the things).


As a beginner i am in programming, you are helping me a lot (and others i guess).
I want to thank you Koushik.
I've followed your tutorials for Spring Boot and JavaScript. Your logic is essential, and it helps. As always, i try to figure out the logic that construcs something(technology, programming language or whatever else), and in learning the foundamental concepts of one technology or programming language, you are very helpful.
Thank you!

Hi Koushik, thank you for the tips. Your videos were always inspiring to me. Keep up the good work!

[jubey.mitsuyoshi]

Thank you for the new video! It's really useful and interesting as always!

[uttareshwarshinde]

absolutely helpful to learn. Very simple and crisp content. Thank you !

[codegeek]

I also love the course format of the videos content. Quick should we expect more spring security videos or the course is finished? We appreciate you so much Koushik you are the best teacher.

[jgozter]

Great content, love your work! Saved me from a lot of headache with your videos! Can you suggest books about spring and spring boot? And is it wise to skip to spring boot after core and understanding DI?

[karthik.karunanithi]

so far the best video about learning technology. I like your language as well any suggestions for that.

[priyankarajannair]

Thank you so much. Could you please share some of the books that you found helpful for Java and Microservices ?

[datle]

Thank you for your provided helpful tips with us. Can I also know how to think of the ideas for building applications while learning a new language/framework?

[wondwoseneshetumuhea]

I definitely check Java Brains before even the official page. You are an inspiration and mentor for most of us who cannot afford to buy courses.
The first time I saw your video I really wished I knew this account in 2011.
