How do you Learn Best?

Published 5 months ago • 1 min read

CodeBreakthrough - Caleb Curry

What is the most effective way to learn? Is there a "perfect" approach?

While I do believe the choice curriculum you follow is vitally important, I don't believe the medium is nearly as important (book, documentation, video, etc).

Some people learn great by reading books. Other people by documentation. Others prefer courses or tutorials. You may even be using LLMs as a learning guide, now.

But what everyone has in common -- We all learn by doing. I don't believe you can study programming without practicing and actually improve your skills. Programming chops are developed in your hands just as much as it is in your mind.

This is exactly why when I design lessons I include written notes (for learning and reference), link to important documentation, AND provide a video guiding through the material. I always explain concepts and then apply what we learn to build hands on experience for real world problems.

If you're struggling to learn, maybe YOU'RE not the issue, but the way you're learning.

I'm intentional with how I study and how I write all my lessons, and that's why so many people benefit from them (including you, hopefully!)

New Content - What inspired me to Create Python Mastery

Here is my latest video on learning Python in 8 weeks or less

Even if you're not learning Python, I encourage you to watch this video. It will break down my approach and way of thinking, and will probably help your approach to learning ANYTHING.

To kick off 2026 I am announcing Python Mastery 2026. This course focuses on the tools every Python engineer should know and does this in 8 weeks.

It is available yo join for one week only.

CodeBreakthrough - Caleb Curry AI should be used to achieve an outcome, that's what I care about. Agentic AI is a tool that can be used to achieve better outcomes faster and also achieve more predictable results. I think devs believe that AI is mostly hype, but even the big dawgs are adopting it for majority of their development. Google is said to have 75% of its new code generated by AI. That's actually pretty insane to think about considering a few years ago the landscape was totally...

CodeBreakthrough - Caleb Curry Today I'm wrapping up some content I've been working on and announcing something new. As a background, I created some content around AI for software engineers. I couldn't finish the final section because I had a blocker...My goal? Utilize AI to launch a product and business that was high quality and profitable. The problem was scope creep...what started as an idea to launch a quick simple app on the app store turned in to a full blown platform that has taken...
