for me, when I'm learning some new language or tech I start off with whatever basic info / tutorials that are available, play around with a few mini projects (like algorithms), but the most important thing, LET OTHER PEOPLE SEE YOUR CODE, for me that often involved trying to answer questions on stackoverflow and posting on codereview, for instance when I was learning ramda I posted a simple solution for fizzbuzz - https://codereview.stackexchange.com/questions/108449/fizzbu... for review and followed up on other peoples variations and it helped a lot.

when I thought I was too rusty on regex I went and tried to answer as many regex questions on stackoverflow

The great thing about stackoverflow is it presents real world problems that are often not straightforward. Even if you can't solve it, someone else more than likely will and you will have an "aha!"
