Get a book on it and read it or just search the net about it. When you know the basics o it try to use or just practice the skill til you master it. That is pretty much it I guess you'd differed in what you do for each skill and shit you want to learn.

Basically what the anon above me said
get books, resources, learn what you can and practice.

depends what you want to learn. In all cases you can theoretically teach yourself but its good to have a peer that knows what their doing. So see if you can get courses or acquainted with someone over email or private lessons etc. Something so that you have someone to critique you.

I learn by doing. This combines well with the fact that i am a very curious person, especially when it comes to the inner workings of things. I pick up technical principles very easily because of this.
Today:
> design and testing of matine electronics
> same paygrade as my engineering friends
> never finished hischool

It boils down to having time enough to read up on a subject enough to get curious about its practical application and then try it out
> "oh, N2k is just a slughtly modified rs485? Suck it, Simrad, I'm building my own autopilot... I might even base it on linux and perl because i can"

The downside to this approach is that it takes longer, but i feel that i learn more as i stumble into caveats that aren't necessarily taught anywhere.

I'm currently trying to figure out how women work, but this is by far the most difficult thing I've started.
