Ask HN: How do you approach a new framework/language?

Posted by max0563 on Friday October 23, 2015 @07:35PM
from the ask-hn dept.

I am currently in the processes of learning NodeJS and it is proving to be confusing at times. I have been strictly a Python developer for quite some time now, but I have to use NodeJS for my current project. I am just wondering how you all deal with approaching a technology that is unfamiliar to you. How do you approach the documentation, and what tips do you use to make your life easier?

Specifically for Node.js, I found NodeSchool to be an amazing resource: http://nodeschool.io/

If you want something specifically about functional programming techniques in JS, this is good: https://leanpub.com/javascript-allonge/read

How do you approach the documentation, you read it.
