Don't try to learn a new skill in a vacuum - build with a goal in mind

[00:00] Um, I tell people when they're learning [00:02] stuff, um, don't try to learn a language [00:04] for the sake of learning the language. [00:05] Don't try to learn the framework for the [00:07] sake of learning the framework. Decide a [00:09] thing that you want to build for you [00:11] just to play with it for nothing else. [00:13] And then learn the language toward that [00:15] goal rather than just trying to get a [00:18] laundry list of all the different [00:19] features of the language. Let me figure [00:20] them out. Once you've built the project, [00:23] right, and you've run it and you're [00:24] confident in it and you you you're you [00:26] know, you had fun doing it, then you can [00:28] go back and go, "Okay, so let me look go [00:29] look through the the the um the the [00:32] website or the documentation or the book [00:34] or the table of contents or whatever and [00:36] let me figure out what are the things [00:37] that okay, I didn't have to touch that [00:38] for this particular project, so let me [00:39] go figure spend some time figuring out [00:41] what that is and maybe even make a side [00:42] project that uses that feature." But I [00:44] found that people learn a lot better if [00:46] they're working toward getting something [00:49] done rather than just trying to learn a [00:50] language in the in the in a vacuum.
