In 11th grade (1999), I learned how to program in Javascript from http://www.htmlgoodies.com/primers/jsp . I went through every single one of those documents / primers.

As zedshaw says, do every exercise, type every bit of code, etc.

After learning javascript, I went on to learn something more immediately useful. It took me about a month before I had built and completed my own local file search engine with jscript (windows scripting) and ms access. I altered my sleep schedule to 34/14 (awake 34 hours, sleep 14). If your mind is actively engaged in the learning, you won't need to sleep regularly. Sleep was the only limiting factor.

3 months after first learning javascript, I had rewritten my file search engine in perl and C, and upgraded my database from ms access to mysql. I didn't know much about perl and C, but I was happy to now "know" 3 languages and 2 databases.
