My approach is usually, in case it is a completely new topic, to start with reading to get the basic (kind of "how things are done here").
But then it is the same for me as well: Reading only gets me so far, if I want it to stick I either have to do it myself or explain it to someone.
What also gives me a lot of new insights is reading other code from real applications/libraries (not just tutorial code). Open Source is great for this.
