Comment by Gergely Polonkai on "Reading vs Practising: Where should I put more focus on while learning a programming language and why?"

I'm interpreting the question as what mix or strategy is optimal for learning. There's no one way that works for everyone, but I'll offer a couple of things to consider that might help you find the right balance. Read to benefit from the experience that other people have. But just because you read it doesn't mean you know it. Practice what you read. If you focus too much on practice, you'll make mistakes that you wouldn't have if you had read more. If you find that you struggle to apply things you've read about, practice more. Code review might expose if you need to read more. Particular code smells suggest what to read about.
