For me the best way to learn is in a collaborative classroom environment where an instructor guides me through theory, examples and then challenges me individually or in a group to complete small challenges. The instructor has to be really good at inquiry-based learning, interacting often with the class and helping students solve problems by asking the right questions. If I'm able to not just reason myself but also see how others reason and understand their thought process, whether we solve things or not, this collective thought process helps me learn a lot faster. Collective troubleshooting let's call it.
So that's for large topics, like a whole new language for example. But if I need to learn something on a job while I'm building an application, I usually end up relying most heavily on documentation and forum discussions.
Great discussion! Loved reading everyone's posts. Thanks for asking, Christian!
