Fiddle. Fiddle, fiddle, fiddle. Get yourself one of the good compilers (gcc for C++; I don't know which is the best Java compiler), and set yourself up an environment where you can make small edits to your code and very quickly compile and run it. I like to use SciTE with a good makefile; pressing F7 in SciTE will 'make' the current project and show you the results immediately. Also, find a good mailing list dedicated to C++, and one dedicated to Java. Lurk there for a while and read tips, and when you run into specific problems, ask clear questions. Hope that helps!
