6 Stages of Learning a New Programming Language

When you are learning "core" concepts in a programming language, do you frequently make a list of questions to ask? I usually find that I digress a lot. That is, I tend to follow my train of thought down the line until the very end. So I started with concept A about Python, then ended up googling a whole lot about object-oriented programming in Python, which led me to scope out a potential project to do later. Through this process, I bookmarked syntax conventions, object-oriented programming concepts, and a list of frequently used data structures.
