I am mostly working in another language (OpenEdge 4GL) but what I try to do is to build small examples that do what I want to be done. I am building a proof of concept. That helps in understanding the problem. What you build does not need to be rock solid, it can totally rely on a happy flow of things, but it helps you in understanding what is going on.

And to keep learning I often build things that should not be built with a 4GL, like games. It is hard to build a game in a language that is not suitable for that. I already built minesweeper, breakout and sokoban. It is fun to do.
