Code a lot, review other developers code and read. Decide on a project and code the project. It's always easier to learn when you have a project to build.

come up with small little (feasible) projects and don't give up til you succeed! You will learn a lot from just being persistent. experience is what you need.

Learn functional programming. The technique of avoiding mutable state as much as possible is very important and underappreciated for writing maintainable code which is easy to reason about.

if you already know the basics and have a good knowledge about algorithmic thinking, go for codewars. Start with basic 1kyu level 8 katas and work your way up. I wish you the best of luck and a lot of good clean code.

I always prefer to take a project and reverse engineer it... When learning a new language.

If you don't code SOLID, I'd do that.

I can't believe someone down voted @zornslemma. Learning functional programming techniques will definitely help you write better imperative code, even if you don't end up using a functional language in your day to day work.

Read and understand as much of other peoples code as possible. Then try re-implementing it better than they did. Then try implementing it again better than you did.

I always like to read the code of others on reputable repositories on GitHub etc. You can learn new techniques and follow the same patterns in your own work.

If you're on web, w3 schools is your best friend.
