How to learn to code by doing and usign tutorials
Common Rules:
-Speedread the chapter
-Do not copy-paste: Copy/pasting allows you to avoid thinking. If you don't think about WHY and HOW your code works, of course you won't get anything. If you make yourself type the code yourself every time, you are forcing your brain to think about it and process it, so you'll be more likely to remember it without googling next time.
If you copy-paste comment the code explaining what it is doing in that line.
-Create a common typos/errors list: When you type the code, probably you will copy something wrong, or forget something, so when you do just add the error/typo that you made and put somekind of counter ( ||||\ or xxxxx or 12345) to measure the frequency. Now, whenever you get an error you can use this list to check if it's not a common typo.
-Commands list: Create a list of common commands and the most used commands in a certain language.

Advanced knowledge of everything on this list would immediately make you one of the best, so just strive to have an exposure if not a comprehensive understanding (though the *starred points are essential). To learn these technologies you should use several in combination on on
