There is no secret to developing a new skill.
Practice. Again. And again.
Looks like you need to practice a skill for 10000 hours before you can master it. That's around 10 years of deliberate practice. This applies to Olympic athletes, musicians, and... programmers.
That's one of the idea behind Malcolm Gladwell's Outliers.
The idea was also explored in Pragmatic Thinking and Learning.
Also see Peter Norvig's 'Teach Yourself Programming in 10 Years'
