How not to burrow?

Question

IT education

Today I decided to master the library for creating 2D animations - Pixi.js, as I saw it in action on the portfolio site of one developer. I started reading the doc, they write that knowledge of HTML and JS is needed ... and preferably experience with Canvas. I remembered that I watched Canvas for a long time, but did not understand how it could be applied here and now, I thought that when I really need to master it. Decided to teach him and again fell into the same stupor. So the question is: how not to bury yourself in this sea of ​​information? When you start to learn something, you understand that you don’t know something else, you start to learn this other thing, and so everything is recursive, until the desire disappears altogether.

Answer 1

If your task is to learn everything in the world, then you will not be able to realize it. And if you had a Pixi.js microtask, then you would only master the pieces of information you need. Well, and further on the rise. If there are no tasks - come up with yourself, light up some small idea and do not be distracted by the sea at your side.
While solving a problem, all sorts of ad hoc solutions will often arise. Do not be afraid of them: a working solution is better than nothing. And refactoring / rewriting can always be done when there is more experience.

Answer 2

So the question is: how not to bury yourself in this sea of ​​information?

So far, I have found only one way to deal with this:
Because you will constantly go deep into, studying different terminologies, which, by and large, are needed only by erudite people. If you find another way, be sure to let me know. My method works, because when you start to learn something, and you meet something incomprehensible, you just need to write it out in a summary. And then when you finish all the proposed material, turn on the Internet, and google the lost not as you go. And when you absolutely can’t think out without someone’s help based on knowledge, solving practical tasks, then you can turn on the Internet and peep into it. It is important that the Internet should be turned on only if you inevitably stop at something, and do not see the point in continuing to study further in this way. By the way, I came up with this method completely by accident, when the repair team under the window broke the electricity for 2 hours, and I was sitting at a laptop without Wi-Fi. Today, the technological singularity has already arrived. In extreme cases, for the purposes of spying on the answers, you can use a nearby smartphone, in which the Internet will still be turned on. Since typing questions on it or pronouncing them in a voice is less familiar, you will resort to this distracting from the "course" less.
