I’d like to recommend something: Find communities where those in the field you’re interested in learning hang out. Read through their discussions; whenever you find something that you haven’t heard of before, look it up, and find out what it is and how it works. I’m using this method (and others) to learn the ropes of becoming a sysadmin, and I think it’s working pretty well.

I agree with the first point even though it seems to work differently on me. I’m not particularly inclined to learn CSS, but I’m learning it anyway through having to customize some blog templates that weren’t 100% to my liking.

Fantastic points.
I agree with all of those, but especially the first one. The best way to learn, at least for me, is to actually do something!
