Hi I am in the same place, finished a degree in computer science, but no music 
programming specifically. I have the "Audio Programming Book"
http://mitpress.mit.edu/books/audio-programming-book
the extra chapters on the CD are a great place to get started learning VST and 
filter design etc 

  Personally I would install linux and download some open source code LADSPA 
plugins, the AlsaModularSynth etc and try and add to them, for example make a 
new module for the alsamodular, which is pretty easy, as it is a small program 
without many complex design elements, good fun… Linus also offers you the 
opportunity to read lots of other peoples projects and gives you an idea of how 
everything works, oh yeah and there's lots of code and examples here Music-dsp 
to adapt into software programs.. make a moog filter for the AlsaModular for 
starters?? 

So I would agree write some code but also read lots of code.. 

ede
