Honestly just approach it like any other topic. Start with the simple stuff and work your way up. There's nothing all that special about DP problems, its just another way of thinking like flow or pathfinding. Remember that complexity is # of states * number of choices. Remember that to be a DP problem things outside your state are irrelevant.

    Also, for starting DP problems the most basic formulation is: from this state our answers are always the same. Let's separate a problem into states we can be in and choices (transitions) we can make from each state. It may help to write a brute force solution first to look at how to split out states and transitions.
