Trial and error.

I generally start with reading. The more things you are familiar with the more everything looks the same.

For example, docker I can pull from OOP knowledge and version control.

Image => class
Container ==> object
registry => upstream
Layers => commits

I don't have as much UI and web so angular and redux is hard to follow, even though I understand the principles and concepts.

Hi,

I totally agree with your answer. Trial and error seems to be a bold but effective approach (practice practice practice!).

Personally, i think that trying is the way to go but i feel "afraid" of messing up or not finding the most efficient language or methodology for a given problem because even though it's not a waste of time (because of the learning benefits) it feels like it is.

I believe that there is a sweet spot in learning anything efficiently, even if you know nothing about it.
