Amen to that, it's how I started. And for further learning, I try to answer
as many questions as I can on forums & newsgroups such as this. There are
always problems you haven't thought of, situations that pose a challenge.
Apart from the first free projects I'd say I've learned most from others
asking questions, and asking myself how I would solve the problem.
