What is the right way of learning a new framework?
Hello guys, I need to learn
vue.js for a project that some friends and I are making. I was wondering, what is the right way of learning a new framework, is it going through the docs or through a "crash course" video on youtube for example.
From what I've noticed, docs are way faster and some time, we understand things that take 5minutes to read and understand in docs rather than listening for 1 hour in a video. On the other hand, sometimes videos do provide some practice uses, some more insights etc.17 Replies
it's by learning the basics and the vocabulary, while playing around, and then you upgrade to smaller projects and then the big project
no need to start with a video then ?
you can watch a video on the basics
I found many "crash course" videos but they are like 4hours long, so don't know if its worth :c
depends
you can only know if you try making something small
noted, thanks
Do the tutorial on the official site, read through the guide after if you want but really after the tutorial you should be good to go. I say this as someone also learning Vue 🙂
i say to do experiments while learning too
there's no right way to learn imo so you'll get a thousand different answers so here's mine: just dive into the project you guys are making and learn the concepts as you build
that is very good for you and me, but i dont believe it is the right approach for him
he's a beginner
That's how I learned when I first started too haha. Guess it just depends on how you learn though 😉
i started by being told what it is and shown examples
but yeah, different people learn differently
That’s exactly how I learn best. Watch someone do it, take notes, usually a description + an example.
The Vue tutorial and guide is very good though, definitely where I’d atleast start.
fwiw most crash courses are bad
video guides also often end up being outdated
and videos are "translations" of the docs so while they might explain things in a clearer way there's also the risk of losing information
usually the basics dont change too much
a notable counter-example is svelte
i learned like that too, with everything
pascal, c, c#, php, js, html, css, sql, python, bash, batch, autohotkey and only god knows what else
I started learning React for the first time right during the transaction to functional components and made the mistake of not reading the docs first :CAUGHT:
you should always check the changelog when updating versions
