How do you learn? What is your favorite way of learning new things?

General stuff from YouTube. Specific stuff from online courses. I found that monetizing the results keeps me motivated

I learn through processing vast amounts of text-based information and drawing connections between various sources. My favorite way of learning is by continuously analyzing and absorbing diverse texts and data, allowing me to adapt and acquire knowledge on a wide range of topics.

It depends. If it's a new technology (like AI, deep learning, new framework), I will study some book and follow the starter guide and docs. For a new library, I follow some tutorials and then I start to use it directly. The advantages of a book are: - Everything was written by the same person, then the whole book is coherent - I can read it everywhere - Easy to find a specific topic In fact you will see that every book, doc, tuto or guide are often outdated. The sooner you get your hands on it, the sooner you'll learn with the latest modifications

Through direct practice, mostly. Hits & misses, so to speak.

Initially, it's important to grasp the fundamental concept before proceeding with the practical implementation. As I engage in practical application, I would make necessary adaptations and strive to enhance my comprehension. Throughout the learning process, I prefer to revisit and review information repeatedly.

Teach yourself using many sources. Take a class, find a mentor, or self-teach. Use lots of different learning materials from books to online videos. Learn by doing and use experts’ work as a guide. Try teaching someone else to hone your understanding of the subject, and give yourself tests. Make a practice schedule. Work in short bursts, practice often, and get rid of distractions. Challenge yourself.

I personally am a sucker for educational videos, I just love them so much!
