How do you learn new programming languages?
| If I was learning a first language, I might use a teaching book or course.
But if I'm learning a 2nd+ language, then I'll just use reference books and the internet to look things up I don't know, what libraries to use to do x, etc. And from there it's just writing fun projects that require those things just so I can get some experience using said libraries.
| Ya find some example code doing something close to what you're doing and play with it
| For 2nd language and on, I just look up the documentation and then start coding. Online course can be nice too, but it's sometimes annoying repeating the basics
