Time and effort. True story: I college I had an upper level math course. On day-one the prof comes in and says (paraphrasing) "You've got the book. Read it. If there are questions, I'll help. Otherwise, you're on your own." We left that class pretty angry. He's not going to teach us? Etc. Long to short, it was one of the best things that ever happened to me. Up til that point, I was always taught such things (i.e., math and technical material). From that class forward I had the attitude, confidence and mindset to teach myself. Let's just say the number of technical lectures I attended the rest of my college career was cut in half. Dive in. Find the medium your prefer (e.g., video, books, etc.) and keep going :) Ideally, find someone else who shares your curiosity so you have share the highs and lows.
