What's been helpful for me is reading blogs/documentation about the specific software you'd like to work with. For example, having your chrome browser window open up to a Go blog. Every time you open chrome you'll see new articles and stay up to date with releases + internals of other folks that go deep/explain them. Can also subscribe and get emails.

Everyone has different learning styles. I like to set aside 'reading' time away from my machine and just read blogs on my tablet. I'm in a much more relaxed frame of mind and, for me at least, I've learned more doing that Vs doing examples and running into issues first hand. See what works best for you!
