Do you find that it is better to learn through reading books or to just jump straight into a project and pick up what you need to know using the web, or some combination of both?
What do you believe is a better of method of learning languages: using books or jumping straight into a project?
programming languages;learning;books
False dichotomy; I routinely work on a project while reading a book.I will say this: if you just read a book without actually programming anything then you are not gonna learn the language. Now whether you're reading from a book or from the web while working on your project matters little; obviously you want a good resource and not a crappy one, but there are both good and bad learning resources in both book form and on the web.
