I forgot to mention, let your learning process be organic. Let yourself break off into tangents as you learn new things. Pretty soon you'll have 25 tabs open as you're clicking through Wikipedia, github, and youtube. This is good because you'll be able to get a breadth of knowledge as you deepen it in a specific area. Just be sure to know when you need to go back and resume the original thing you started with (which usually can be determined by you're level of excitement and interest as you toggle through the many tabs you have open with ctrl-tab or ctrl-alt-tab). You'll learn faster if you follow things that are interesting to you. Don't learn something just because you think you have to (in less you absolutely cannot progress without getting past that obstacle in your understanding). This way you'll end up with a body of knowledge that relates to your interests and experiences. Use that to branch out more tendrils of knowledge. Its a very fractal-like growth process.
