The single most important change I've made in how I learn new tools/frameworks/whatnot is Github code searches -- I spend far more time there than on StackOverflow. Maybe this is more important in Scala land, where there are far fewer books and talks and blog posts to work from, and the tool stack is evolving a lot more, but I've found answering many questions of structure / "How do people incorporate this concept into a larger application" to live largely in code. The answer is never exact, though. Something will have 10 different solutions, and being able to look at them and discuss the tradeoffs that went into the decision is a definite skill.
