The more time you spend programming, the better you're going to get at it. Your programming brain is just like any other muscle, the more you exercise it, provided you utilize good form, the stronger it's going to get.

I'm not familiar with Codeacademy - I looked at it a while ago but never got traction there, but what you describe as your learning process sounds like a good one. If you feel like you're getting more familiar and aren't finding yourself spinning your wheels and getting frustrated, then I'd say your approach is working for you.
