Discussion on: How do you learn best?

I like to start with some small project, to learn the basics and find out if the topic interests me. (Reading or video)

If I find it interesting, I try to see what possibilities/functionalities are out there on the topic. Then I either build on the small project or start a little more significant project with some fun features.

I try to have projects that I (or others) can use or benefit from, so it's a motivation for me to finish them.

Example:
Begin by creating a static personal website.
Then maybe create a web app, where you can log in with Google/Facebook or have a payment function.
