How to learn from a PDF or book

This link opens a document file, such as a PDF book or paper.

Steps

Open the link. The file may download, or open in your browser.
Look at the table of contents first and choose one chapter. You do not need to read it all.
Read a section, then try the example right away.
Use Ctrl+F to find a word inside the document.
Take notes in your own words. Short notes are enough.

Some PDFs are scans of pages. A screen reader cannot read these. Pick a version with text you can select, if there is one.
Edge and Adobe Reader can read a PDF aloud. In Edge: Ctrl+Shift+U.
Zoom with Ctrl and +, or choose Fit to width.
Language: in Chrome or Edge, right-click the page and pick Translate. In Safari, use the page menu button, then Translate. The translation is by a machine, so check anything that looks odd.
Read it aloud: Edge has Read aloud (Ctrl+Shift+U). Windows has Narrator (Win+Ctrl+Enter). Mac has VoiceOver (Cmd+F5). NVDA is a free screen reader for Windows.
Make it bigger: press Ctrl and + (Cmd and + on a Mac). Reset with Ctrl+0.
Keyboard only: Tab moves to the next link or button, Shift+Tab goes back, Enter opens it.
Tire easily or lose focus? Work in short blocks, for example 15 minutes, then rest.

Expect to read documentation and to install tools. Allow a few hours or days.
Work in small steps and test often. Keep notes of what you tried.
Forums and chat rooms are open to strangers. Only go there with a grown-up, and never share personal details.
