Best way to learn from a Book ?

I'll usually follow along and then create Anki flash cards and create screenshots where possible for new concepts I'm learning so I'm engaged with the new subject matter as often as possible so it sinks into long term memory.

whenever Im reading a programming book, ill usually read through the whole book once, then go back and follow along with all the coding. Takes a while but I feel it helps better with understanding things.

I've read that book specifically and my recommendation to you would be read each chapter in its entirety but then do all of the practice exercises at the end before beginning the next chapter. As you said, everyone learns differently but this approach worked well for me.

Hello Trent! That's a great question! I find it challenging for myself to read programming books as I am a very much a visual learner. I approach new coding concepts (either from a book, or from an online resource) by implementing the code/idea/method into personal work. Everyone has their own best way of learning. Hope this helps!

I read everything twice, and write the sample code twice. I would take notes but my hand writing is atrocious.

I just take notes about important things while reading the book and then I do all the programing exercises while reading. I'm very much visual learning so I spend most of the time looking at videos.

thanks for all the input guys !
