I read posts and try to solve the problems that arise. This is the only thing I open the Editor for... I just like helping people out.
Eventually I will (re)create an amazing map, that I could not finish in Brood War. I was probably 2/5th finished my map, and I hit the max cap on allowed triggers / locations, pretty much everything. It was the saddest day of my life for a long time... stupid limitations.
Honestly though, most things seem extremely basic to me. Just a few things are a little complicated, but then that's what experimenting is for.
What I really want to get into is Terraining... it was my best strength for the Starcraft Editor. I haven't terrained since BW, and I never even touched Warcraft 3, so... the elements seem a little daunting, and all the things you can do... just waiting for the next WTE to be posted to start getting into terraining.
But ya... I just try to solve data editor problems.
Go to the Behavior Tab, find your Detection Behavior, modify Behavior - Modification + field, click on the unit tab of the new window, modify the Detection Arc to whatever you want.
I modified the Overseer Detection Arc to 45 degrees, placed an Overseer on my map, and surrounded him with hostile dark templar... he only detects them when he is facing them, at a 45 degree angle.

How do I learn?
Well, I experiment ALOT.
