I learned how to program by hacking at code. I would reverse engineer the code and do all kinds of wacky things that they would never teach you to do in a CS class. Personally I think this approach should be taught in CS along with the traditional methods. To me Hacking is kind of like being a kid - you experiment - and learn through doing - it's what makes programming fun.
