Default Clutch

I am new to driving a manual. My shifting is not pretty smooth but I really want to improve it. I have 2 questions though.

1. When shifting from 1st to 2nd, do you let the clutch out (and press on gas) pretty quickly (like the whole motion of letting out the clutch takes place in less than a sec i.e. immediately)? Or do you let it out slowly similar to what you do when going from a stop?


2. If you're driving around a parking lot pretty slow in 1st gear. Do you also press the clutch since the car is slowly and tends to shake?
