Yeah, like multiple times per year๐Ÿ˜‚

If it's very major, the company pays for training or for another person embedded in our team to coach us through the new tech.

Otherwise if I'm on my own, I go through plural sight to learn the basics then look for tutorials to apply some simple code, and then I enhance my knowledge by applying some simple enhancements. If I find myself stuck, I either Google or seek a colleague's help, or if I'm at a dead end, I escalate to my manager that I need further help from an experienced resource.

Outside of work, I do the same thing as above minus escalating to a manager. I don't have the resources to "hire" an experienced person to walk me through it. ๐Ÿ™‚
