At the beginning for me I was going all in into online courses, but I've realised that they weren't making me think enough & experience is measured by number of problems you've solved. After that I'm learning through practice mostly. How about u?
I recommend to start with online courses to get an idea of what it is all about. -- π¦
Step on with hands-on projects & practice to gain initial practical experience and keep motivation high. -- π₯
To deepen knowledge I'm always getting books (really a lot of them) and reading articles and summarise them as a weekly github posts: github.com/vbd/Fieldnotes/tree/mai... -- β€οΈ
I usually start with online courses to pick up the basics of a new language and then switch to making a personal project. I find those projects often involve merging a bunch of concepts and are way better learning tools once I have my feet wet.
For human skills/management skills, I find books are better than courses.
A tie between hands on experience and articles for me. I find it hard to put online courses into practice. I much prefer to create my own projects, and then try to make them a reality. If I started off over ambitious, it's a learning oppotunity, and I tend to then refine my ideas into something I can realistically make.
Me personally I enjoy using a mixture of videos and written material. What worked for me was learning, Understanding, then practice. Great post!
Always books/articles and then hands-on projects & practice :)
