I remember when I was fresher and how difficult it was to acquire new technology without any guidance. I use to take random steps and try to do everything based on my understanding.
There were:
- No plan
- No mentor
- No consistency
- lack of maturity
Due to this I faced multiple problems and it took me may be triple time in grasping a particular technology.
So considering this, I would suggest the below strategy before you dive into learning any new tech:
Create a road-map and action plan first (get it verified by experts in that tech)
- Understand the core concepts of the language
- Practice those core concepts with multiple real time small tasks
- Create at least 5-6 small applications to grasp more understanding (predecided in your road-map)
- Find the best practices for that particular language
- Play with all your learning & try to make one good project (making sure you are using most of your learning)
- Find out the concepts which are complex and difficult to get in 1 go and make proper plan to practice it until you are comfortable with them.
- Dive deeper into understanding the language behaviour , its insights and do in-depth analysis
- Once you reach there, Check stack-overflow and see the kind of questions other devs are asking in same tech and see if you are able to provide solution
- Practice Practice & Practice (this is the whole essence at the end)
Before that must connect with guys who are master in that language over
- Join discord servers
- Join their slack channels
Be consistent (2-3 hrs/day) and try to live with this whole journey, at the end you must be between beginner to intermediate to this new tech or programming language
