Hello guys, sorry to disturb you all; I have just a small question. I was learning Java as a side hustle but I will shortly start my second semester for second year of university. I was told that I would be learning C# . I just had a look at its syntax and notice that it's similar (not all but some) to Java. So I have a question. The thing is at any time for any job, I can be requested to use any different type of languages. I was wondering if each time I would need to go over some sort of tutorial to learn the language or I just learn the syntax? For e.g, I was doing a tutorial on C#, the thing is what is being explained is as if a person doesn't have a programming background. But I also have one, just I don't know the syntax yet.

So what is the right way to learn new languages in this case? Only learn the syntax, then start to build things?
(Does this applies to any kind of new technologies ? Like their will always be new technologies/framework, so at some point, we should stop following some tutorials and only refers to their docs ?)

I mean if u know basic programming stuff u can always just look at the docs or watch some intermediate tutourials

If im learning new languages it highly depends on how close the syntax are and if they work the same

E.g. if u know java u just have to go over the c# docs to learn c# but if u know java and wanna do go lang or smth u maybe need a lil more than just the docs

Like a tutorial or smth
