Can anyone give me any tips?
Without you being more specific, I wouldn't know what to say other than build simple things with it, then more complex things, and keep looking at source of mature projects for inspiration and kicks. Also, modify existing things until they break, then do it again. As long as you're not dealing with sensitive data of yourself or others, don't be afraid of to just poke and pull at things, or to try an idea just to see if it works. Maybe some would advise against that, and maybe they're right, I am not a good programmer by any means. But I have fun doing it, and that's how I learnt.
Learning grammar and vocabulary is obviously the first step, but I think the real fun begins when you learn to express yourself freely, when the path between idea and execution gets shorter, and is less often interrupted by hunting down unexpected bugs. Even though that is possible without knowing all that much of the language, just by getting good at using the bits you do know, it still takes time in any case, and you will have to overcome frustrations. But no matter what language, it's worth it :)
