what's your favorite/most-effective learning method?

Thanks for this interesting question. Actually I’m pretty bad with theoretical learning. That’s why I always prefer practical examples, and trying out things until they work. With a couple of examples being done I usually research particular facts in books or references. For things I practiced a lot and am interested a lot (like CSS, HTML, JS), I sometimes try to understand the specification which gives you lots of small details on why things work like they do.

For sources to learn I prefer:

  • short blog posts
  • short wiki articles
  • tutorials (step by step guides)
  • short book chapters (I prefer physical books)
  • try on my own

Related I found this article summarizes a few good techniques: https://the-pastry-box-project.net/erin-mckean/2015-october-24
