Do whatever it takes to program every day. Either build a few apps for yourself, work on a new app/business you plan to launch, or try to extend open source projects. The important thing is trying. Like an writer or a painter, the best way to learn programming is to learn by doing. It does help to work with others, so find a friend and work on a project with them and try to learn as much as possible if you can. Regardless of how you do it, you will be blown away by how much your skills improve after 270 days.
