REAL DEAL PROGRAMMING

How do I learn how to program past beginner tutorial shit? I'm trying to learn this without any classes but all the tutorials and guides always end with really basic shit. How do I learn how to program real applications and shit?

By writing real applications.
There's no other way.
Write something that you need. And do it now.

If you don't need anything - why the fuck you decided to learn programming in the first place?
