I use the code while I learn.

I like to see what can and cannot be done.

Then try to make something more, or less useful from the code.

Answer 3

Step 1. Learn Basics
Step 2. Code, code and code!
You ask me how? There would be so many problems to face. Exactly! Here go to step 3.
Step 3. Learn more theory after you faced problems.

This is a great way to learn natural languages. I believe computer languages are not exception.

Answer 4

I would say that the best way is reading - coding - failing - repeat

Answer 5

Learn by doing after learning

First learn the syntax first, then try it to see the results and to experiment with the syntax you have learned. After trying the code, you will have a better understanding on the syntax.
