once you have this down solid. practice it.
watch tutorials, make little code snippets.
try out new things.

Answer 2

And keep in mind that if you are struggling to develop a code take a break and think about your problem by trying to write down a clear sentence of what you wanna do. If you can't easily write a sentence of what you want, take a longer break to re-think your project :D

Answer 3

That might sound boring to write down your code with sentences but it really saved me many times. I got the kind of clients that are very freedom in there mind, they like from one project to another one to change many "pieces" of the logical inside the program I built for them... sometimes I'm oblige to rewrite all the code with sentences cause with all the conditions they changed I'm lost and I don't want to only write patchs on patchs to fix the main code. If I didn't took 15-20 min to write I would still be in front of my screen sweeting and prying to hope for a magic hand edit the code for me :D
