Answer 1

Things that can help:

• Work with a group of people (or atleast two)
• Be on IRC or another live/chat channel where you can ask someone for a translation or his opinion
• Use two screens (or print the article) and check the translations
• Try to put yourself in the position of the author: what is the problem to tackle, how did he solve it? Follow the steps he takes, try to reproduce them.
• Search for other resources (articles/blog posts/books/presentations) on the same subject.

If you want a more detailed answer, you could give us more details in your question (eg a link to the article, or atleast its subject...)

Answer 2

The most important thing to keep in mind would be: don't get distracted by the details of the language or development environment that are not directly related to your problem.

If you encounter something that you're no familiar with, just keep reading. Chances are, you will be able to get some idea about it later. I recommend you try to read the whole article then make a list of the things you couldn't comprehend. Read the article again, or read about these things first. Give your mind enough time to adapt to these new concepts. For a real beginner, you may be missing a fundamental concept. In that case, you really have to read about that concept first, before you can understand the article.

Everybody have to go through the same situation, even if they're experts, new things show up everyday. If you're a beginner in programming, say, you're still good at something else. So try to cross the gap and relate the new concepts you're learning to things you're already familiar with.

Good luck.
