I also studied for a Master's Degree in Industrial Engineering, specialising in Energy, from the Spanish National Distance University (UNED), but I didn't complete it.
Additionally to its relevant contribution to my practical knowledge, my professional activity has also been responsible for a big part of the improvements of my understanding about a wide range of topics.
Some aspects of my personality are also helpful to get a better understanding of my (theoretical) learning skills. My recent attempt at becoming a civil servant is a descriptive example of this. During around one year, I was studying a big and demanding syllabus about the Spanish Administration, computer engineering and telecommunications engineering. Eventually, I realised that it wasn't my place, but didn't walk out empty handed. I acquired a quite good theoretical knowledge about various topics closely related to my work, what would have been quite difficult under different conditions.
In any case, I do think that, for programming, practical aspects are more relevant than theoretical ones, mainly by bearing in mind what is expected here. If I didn't possess most of the knowledge listed in this page, my programming skills would be undoubtedly much worse. On the other hand, all that theoretical knowledge without my extensive practical expertise would be mostly useless when trying to face a slightly complex development.
