How to learn a new tech stack easily ?

There always limitless demand for learning new technology and contributing to the work project. People who are open to learn; always loves to try new tech stack as their passion.

About me

I am one among them. I quickly understand what is the use of the new technology. I usually ~~learn~~ skim about the installation, try it in local and practice basic CRUD then use it in the work project. But I have faced lots of problem due to lack of process in understanding the basics. This is not the best way to use a new tech stack with out knowing their core picture.

Jack of all trades; Master of none.

But we can aim to be a Master of some :-)

Disadvantages of skimming through new technology

lack of knowledge about the basic architecture and its core components
Failed to knows its competitive technology
lack of usage in various practical problems
cannot remember the concepts in longer time (easily forget)
Not able to answer if someone asks the pros and cons of the technology
You cannot achieve the Architect role or Principal role in IT field
Wasting time for short term returns
More you gain the experience .. more knowledge about tech and its basics is important to survive in IT industry
