Time for change the strategy of master technology

In the last few years or months, I have made a lots of technology learning plans. Every time, I want to learn a new kind of technology, I always want to learn from the ZERO. That means I will copy or try to re-build the whole thing from the very beginning. Some one told me that if you want to master something, the best way you could do is re-create it from the very beginning. But right now, I found that I have a lots of stuff to do, because such kind of learning method can not make me finish them quickly and effectively. Sometimes, some ideas will be blocked because I still have a lots of thing to do at that time.

 

Actually, there is no endless for technology learning. And most of the work will be repeated and repeated again and again when I build something from the ZERO. Of course, I will get a solid foundation and some certain depth of technology, but I will lost the width. Because I still do not know some certain technology points right now.

 

So I would like to change my technology learning strategy a bit. For some stuff, I will build the whole thing from the ZERO. But some others, I will just copy others’ implementation. I do not need to re-build the wheels again and again. For both of them, I will check the source code, and grab the main idea on how do we need to do to get such effect. Some other thoughts about this technology points, what makes me confused, what bugs I come across, how to fix those bugs, or some other ideas that I get from this points and so on.

 

I hope this strategy will remove the learning block away and keep me relax on my technology way.
