1. Get some code
2. Read the code
3. Understand the code (aka use the inernet to find out what a line does)
4. Edit the code (dont need to add much stuff, just modify it so it basically still does the stuff it does, but in a different way)
5. Compile it and fix errors
Repeat 1-5 with some simple code pieces until youre able to read most code and can understand what its doing without asking ****** every line.
6. Write some code
Thats basically how I learned every language so far. I never really found tutorials or books helpful (especially video tutorials dont belong to coding imo).
I think this pattern doesnt change for different languages, as it is pretty generic. If youre having trouble with 3. just dont give it up. The process of spending hours searching for information and reading several pages forces you to think more about it, and so helps a lot while learning.
