Motivation is one hell of a teacher.
That's exactly where my mind was going. Learn Java and maybe one day I can make a Minecraft mod lol. I'm not modding yet but just the idea of doing it gave me the kick I needed to get started learning.
Find someone else's open source mod and try to change how it works.
This - and don't worry that this is somehow "cheating". It's how a ton of programmers got their start. Old farts like me learned a lot by messing around with GORILLA.BAS
