Discussion: How much do you learn about a technology before you apply it?

Sebastian - May 6 '20 - - Dev Community

My case: I decided to use Redis for a simple in-memory store of job requests. I spend only a few hours to read about Redis data structures and functions, then directly went to coding with Node.JS and a Redis client lib.

My approach seems to be "learn just enough to use it".

How are you approaching new technologies? Do you jump in like me? Do you read the documentation carefully? Do you work through tutorials?
