Pick a medium sized project, and sketch out all the steps and sub-goals (and update/redo this sketch as you make progress and understand what the final implementation may look like). Then slowly conquer those sub goals one by one, googling furiously and reading what you find very carefully the whole way. You can decrease/increase the scope of the project part way through depending on how smoothly things are progressing. Fully executing on a simplified initial version is much better than half way executing on a grander vision. Don't be afraid to ask for help if you get stuck. You will be amazed at everything that you have learned by the end.
