Technology (i.e. - JavaScript), tool (i.e. - Power Bi) or tech topic (i.e - Agile), whatever... all mixed.</p> <p>1st Question: How would you switch from one topic to another and how much time would you dedicate on each learning on average? Some not-so-random options:</p> <p>a) One topic each day?<br> b) One topic every two-four weeks (Sprint style)?<br> c) The First 20 Hours method?<br> d) Other way, your way...?</p> <p>2nd Question (extra): In terms of learning a language, would you consider converting programs from one language to another as a good approach? Like, following a tutorial of a To-Do List project in C# and coding in Java and/or vice-versa.</p> productivity discuss beginners
