My best learning situations have been times where you read a little bit (or watch a video), and then have exercises to complete to implement the information, and good examples to refer to. You think you know it just by reading/watching, but once you try to use it, you find out you haven't really learned it (yet). Some of the examples that come to mind are old (1990s), but still stand out to me as a great way to really learn. 1. Teach Yourself Access in 24 hours (or something like that). It was a book that had a chapter/lesson and then exercises to utilize what you learned. 2. Learning Perl (the camel book). Same thing. 3. Nand2Tetris (I did the first course. Still need to do the second one.) I watched the video lessons, then did the exercises and submitted them for automatic checking.
