Learn to do your job correctly by experimenting. Read other people's code. Write other people's code. Learn by doing. Learn by failing.
One of the things that I believe is incredibly important is a feedback cycle. Do a thing. See if it worked. Reflect on what you learned doing that thing.
And most importantly, ignore any feedback that starts with "You're doing it wrong." But listen carefully to anyone who says "Here's how I'd do it."
This is how I learned software development. I wrote crappy things and placed them before people I respected. And these people gave me exactly what I just explained..
You're a junior developer - there are so many people willing to help you out and learn, if you ask.
Enjoy software development!
