getting lurned

hey /prog/
i have been reading a couple programming books recently, i noticed that they are fairly basic.
is there a subset or somesuch of moar advanced books that you read after you read the basic ones? how do you learn to do work on more focused programming tasks rather then just general?
(i have never learn t from books before, just classes. thats why I'm asking)
