My approach will be videos first.

I will watch people do something with that library/function/framework

Then I will watch more videos and familirize myself about that topic .

Since I know what it can do . Now I will try to implement something of my own

Definitely I would've done something wrong . Mostly syntax errors.

Now I copy/paste errors in Google . It'll show me a bunch of answers . Now I will understand what I've done wrong .

Now I would've implemented the same thing , what they showed I'm the video

Now I search more about the library/ framework/function understand more about what it can do.

Now I will have a partial idea about library/ framework/function.

Now only I would've started reading documentation.

The trick is to familirize first . Once we try to understand the term in documentation , we can simply read it .

Better get a mentor .
