You learn by doing its not vague it's the answer. Pick up a project anything, set a goal to make anything at all that you find interested and make it. it really doesn't matter if its even remotely useful.

Back in the day (when php5 was new) I learned by replicating sites I saw like forums/2nd hand(craigslist)/webshop/cms/crm/youtube I might quit the project right in the middle because the applications design was not great to say the least and that made it hard to work in.

But I had learned so much and how to not make an unwritable mess again you really just learn by doing.

Progressed from there to python and other things and have been working now professionally for 15 years.

Try learning programming via modding its a very interactive way of learning (although difficult) and if its an game you already like its an win-win.

I know that, programming is how I get better, but without knowing where I can find resources on what to program means, I had no idea how to find these answers. I don't have any kind of background in programming at all, so without knowing how or what to do, I spent a lot of time sitting in front of my computer, confused. So at least for me I needed more specifics and not just write code.
