I'm probably not far beyond you Ken - but I did start across this bridge a couple years ago. With limited time, my approach was to pick a feature that I liked, like drop-down menus, and then just go out and find samples. I used the samples to kinda show me how - break it, fix it. I probably still wouldn't be able to implement a drop-down menu without help, but the process did lead to me learning enough to style a lot of things. I also looked at how Wonder's Ajax Examples were styled and ERModern, etc.
I know this isn't book learnin' but could be the way to go if you're working and studying concurrently. I bookmarked lots of stuff to help me and here's some examples/resources I've regularly gone back to.

Some of the topics in the first book include dealing with multi-column layouts, styling input forms, styling a calendar, and taking advantage of positioning. The second book covers more advanced topics like styling tabs, drop-down menus, list menus, etc.
