Install LTSpice (free from Analog Devices), and head here to run down the basics of simulation (for software guys it will quickly make sense):

Analyze all schematics in the encyclopedias, and build some of these simple projects:

Try to combine various aspects of the designs into something you find useful.
Avoid digital mcu cheat codes in favor of 555 at first, as you will learn more.
Note: burning parts with design mistakes is part of the learning process, but reverse engineering mistakes to understand why is the fun part.
Best of luck, =3
