How do you usually approach learning new technologies? What sources do you use?

My approach to learning new technologies usually follows this plan:

1. Official documentation — I always start with it to understand the basic concepts and capabilities.
2. Practical examples and tutorials — I read articles, watch videos to see practical applications.
3. Code and projects — I try to write a small project or solve tasks to reinforce my knowledge.
4. Community engagement — I participate in specialized forums, chats, and discuss with colleagues.

Main sources:

• Documentation on official websites (e.g., Oracle for Java)
• Platforms like Medium, Dev.to, Stack Overflow
• Courses on Coursera, Udemy
• Repositories on GitHub with examples

This approach helps to quickly and effectively master new technologies and apply them in work.
