I'm a physics PhD with little actual programming experience.

I've always liked programming and played around with BASIC, Pascal as a teen, but the extent of my experience writing complex programs comes from an introductory course in computer science.

Now I've decided that I'm more interested in programming than in physics and started to learn Java.

Coming from a physics or math-heavy background, what would be the best strategy to maximize my value in the field?
