There are two things I do.

1- I start with coding to learn not learning to code. This approach helped me to put my thoughts into actual code so for example I want to learn how to request data from database I started by learning how to create a database and the specific codes to print that request and from there you branch to different things along the way and after that you could look for basics course about that subject to to learn different ways and extra information.

2- I look for templates or things like that and deconstruct them and look through the code and to try it myself then you code start to re-code this template from start to finish by yourself.

3- I try find the source of pages I like and use inspection to learn how things were construc toted.

Re:Ask HN: How do you organize a revolution? on Saturday July 07, 2018 @07:22AM (#17478043)
I had a friend who was in Egypt during the Arab Spring 2011 and he told me they have been organizing for the revolution since October 2010 using Facebook via groups to spread the idea to everyone also using events to organise the marches.

Note that the government to deal with this had all communications cut including landlines and started to pay attention to these groups and pages since then so it's safe to say that your government maybe on to you if you use public tools like Facebook.

Re:Ask HN: Is Facebook blocked in your office internet? on Saturday July 07, 2018 @07:15AM (#17478027)
No it is not but I remember a hospital in Central London which Facebook was blocked in. I'm not sure if it was a policy or they had an issue with their network!
