The caterpillar learning method to the rescue.
I've switched tech stacks 3 times so far in my career. More like 5 if you count the contract jobs I've worked on.
That means I had to learn completely new languages and frameworks in a fairly short amount of time. I didn't have the luxury of sitting down for a 100 hour tutorial. The strategy I use to learn is the caterpillar method.
When a caterpillar moves, it contracts and expands its body segments in a sequential manner to propel itself forward. Be like that caterpillar when you're learning.
