Actually really joining the tech community(ies) for areas I am interested in. And by really joining I meant I started by attending regularly and often, then offering to help, then organizing and running my own events. There's no better way to become immersed in the thing you are trying to learn, meeting people who are really smart, networking, and staying current on trends. Also, you make great friends and jobs start looking for you, as opposed to the normal way of things :)

+1 being an active part of the local community it totally changed the way I see development. It took me 15 years (if you include also university) to realize how fun and rewarding tech events are.
