[comp.windows.ms] For MS Windows EXPERTS: learning curve for Microsoft Windows

jimmy@cs.UAlberta.CA (Jimmy the X-man) (04/12/91)

Hi folks,

How long does it take to learn Microsoft Windows to become reasonably
productive ? As an example, it took me about a year to become
proficient in X windows. Any recommended methods for expediting the
learning process for MS Windows ?

Thanks,
Jimmy

Hi,

I have got several requests for answers to my original posting. BTW,
the original posting was aimed at becoming a proficient MS windows
PROGRAMMER (as opposed to a user only).

To all the people who sent me email requesting responses to my posting,
I will post the answers in a few days as I am still getting info
(albeit slowly) on this topic. A copy of my original posting follows:
