Minimalist, an aspiring web dev, comp-sci student, hacker, gamer and a linux enthusiast. I like meeting other nerdy people and seeing what they're doing.
I think we're the same when it comes to learning new things. In the sense that very often the beginning material bores me pretty quickly, especially since there is a lot of beginner programming concepts mixed in which I already understand.
What I found to work for me is to choose a project and build it, if I don't understand how to do something I first look up the documentation, then if I need more I look up the tutorials.
But each time I look up only enough to push that project forward. This isn't an approach that works for everyone but it does for me. And it has some benefits, like:
getting practical experience with something (because you're building stuff)
improving your understanding of how a language/framework functions (because you're reading the docs first)
Also I think that when it comes to understanding something, it's not a black n' white thing, like you either get it or not, but more of a spectrum, you understand certain parts and others not/are learning.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
