I've been trying to learn React and I usually get the hang of programming languages by watching tutorials and creating a cheat sheet alongside to grasp the syntax and concepts. I'm wondering if I should follow the same method for frameworks like Django, Laravel, or React.js, or if there's a better approach.

Honestly, I'd suggest jumping right into building something small instead of sticking to tutorials and cheat sheets. You learn React way quicker by tackling actual projects and facing real errors. Trying to make a tiny app will help you grasp things much better!
Your current method should work fine for learning frameworks as well. Just remember, React and React.js are basically the same thing, so don't get confused there!
But how do I start building if I don't know how it all fits together yet? I feel like I should at least grasp the basic syntax of the framework first.
