I'll challenge this one ... For "mastery," sure, but we had a new
senior level guy (with a Java/Hibernate/J2EE background) comfortably
writing WO apps within a few weeks. We had two junior guys that
were pretty good in about a month and a half coming from a Rails
background. Again, this is not to say they're WO masters at that
point, but productive, definitely.
I'd confirm this.
Mastering WO is definitely much easier in a mentoring environment.
There are many unwritten rules that go into writing a WO app the WO
Way(tm), it's a lot easier having someone doing code review and
offering pointers than discovering your mistakes after the fact.
Having said that, it is possible to learn on your own. I did. Just
expect to spend a fair amount of time staring at the contents of WODev
posts waiting for the lightbulbs to go off.
