I tried to read books or even take a night course but nothing did the trick except: a real side project that required me to learn the proper tools and techniques. Turned into a full time job that I am really enjoying.

Now I am able to read the books because I desire the knowledge to further my passion.

I also follow that approach (more out of eagerness to do something than from a didactic point of view), but the problem with it, is that you end up bypassing the best practices in the area.
