fastest way to master a programming language?

Question

I need tips on how i can achieve a thorough understanding of a programming language in a short period of time

Answer 1

I would say that there's no way to "master" a programming language fast. In a short period of time you can just get some of the basics. To master a programming language takes a long time with loads of exercise and practice and failures and successes...

Answer 2

I found something that could help http://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/165380/how-can-i-really-master-a-programming-language
this person had a similar question. The answer with the green check mark is the best.

Answer 3

use programming over and over again to make your boring computer tasks simplier: you will gain more time and knowledge.
