Discussion on: Learning new languages

[Ben Halpern]

I'd say this is typically my approach:

• Seek out "hello world" tutorial. Follow that, and get to a program that compiles/renders/etc.
• From there I'll typically begin a bit of my own experimentation while seeking out tutorials on an as needed basis.
• Once I'm a little more experienced, I'll have a better mindset for fully reading more complex tutorials to help me get to a place of more proficiency.
• From there it's probably a combination of tutorials and/or reading through issues, discussions, Stack Overflow, etc.

That's a nice way to learn a new language! I do a similar thing
