Is It Effective to Learn a New Development Framework by Following a Project?
Asked by

I'm learning Next.js while working on a full stack project I found on YouTube that's aligned with what I want to learn. In the past, I've found it helpful to follow along with such project-based tutorials. I'm curious to hear from people who are already in the industry—like freelancers, interns, or developers—whether learning in this way is truly beneficial.

Absolutely! That's a fantastic way to learn. My suggestion is to watch the tutorial once, then take a break and try building your own project using the new framework. Trust me, when you code on your own, you'll make mistakes and learn a lot more than if you just stick to the tutorial.

CreativeNinja88: I usually code on my own after watching tutorials to avoid tutorial hell, but building a different project sounds like a much better approach. Thanks for the tip!
