I find I go through cycles. Sometimes I feel like I learn better reading through books and blog articles (and working through any exercises that might be provided). Other times I feel like I pick up more (or at least have more motivation to pick things up) when I'm actually trying to ship something. Different strategies work for different people at different times.
