Hi,
Am glad to hear such a question. That's has been the desire burning within me for a long time. Now back to your question, you didn't mention how fast in respect to time. Like 3 months or so. But, like one of us has said, it requires patience.
If you have the knowledge, passion, and ideas as to programming, you can go very fast.
Read other people's code when stuck.

Patience and persistence. That's the key to becoming a coder.
So, you want to learn faster, eh? Well, that takes dedication and commitment. Are you willing to give up who you are today to become who you want to be tomorrow? What I mean, can you go without watching TV? Playing games? Facebook? Playing on the internet? Hangin with friends?
If you want to become better, then dedicate your time to learning and practicing what you learn. If you don't take it seriously, or don't invest the time it requires, then you'll never get there. However, if you bust your ass at it every day like your life depended upon it, then you'll learn how to program more quickly than if not.
Focus on your studies and if you're awake, work on it. It'll pay off in the long run, and when you do it professionally, you'll be the hardest working person in the room.
This is my method: I read the language the first time through even if I don't understand it. Next I practice what I learned. Then I read it again, this time I write down anything I still don't understand. When I'm done, I use the list I made and I ruthlessly study what I still don't understand. Then I start practicing again and put my weaknesses to practical use until they're strengths. After that, rinse & repeat. Keep reading more resources on the language, keep practicing, and don't give up.
