When I was newer to programming, I would do a bunch of tutorials -- usually through video -- on the topic. That was super important at that stage in my career, since I was still somewhat learning how to code period!
Now that I've been doing this for longer, I can usually pick up a new skill by just looking at a couple example scripts written with that tool or language. Then I challenge myself to build something using the tool's documentation. If all goes according to plan, I'm at a pretty good point after that! If something is more difficult for me -- like Elm was recently -- I then go and watch video tutorials and read articles for deeper understanding on the topic.
