I think for learning you really need to start with the basics and get your hands dirty.

Reading about a concept is very different to building it. You'll take in and retain more of that information if you actually build the solution.

Once you've built it and understand the subtleties of how it works, then next time you can reuse what you've built or learnt, or use a scaffold to get started so you can move onto learning to build something else.
