How To get started? The biggest question that pops up whenever starting a new thing. What's the starting point? what things are required? Is it worth it? So may questions and so many answers and they are all good ones lets start from the beginning.

Tutorials

Ok so the first thing that comes to mind when started anything comes to mind is the tutorials and I agree that is the most logical thing to do but does it only takes tutorial to learn that thing? Actually not tutorials are good until you don't fell into a tutorial trap that is watching only tutorials and not applying the concepts. So stay away from being caught into that trap.

Projects

The next Logical thing that comes to mind is to make projects and I am all that kind of guy who supports this fully and does this all the time and all I want to say is go-ahead. The things you will learn while making projects are just no match for tutorials. You will have to improvise, do your research, and have to try a lot of things before getting it right and that’s the good part that research that you'll do will help you in long term. Just one piece of advice start with small projects and then move into bigger ones.

Dig Deeper

Once you have a basic understanding of how that thing works dig deeper and this is quite a vital point. See unless you are above average at something id doesn’t matter. You should have at least that much knowledge that you can discuss with an experienced person of the same interest as being able to understand what that person is saying. If a discussion is one-sided it makes no sense and you will lose that person respect as well as your chance to show that you have known that thing and know what you are doing.

These are some of my thoughts and I hope these things help you somehow.
