No matter what theme it is: whenever you learn something new, you will have to invest time to master the new concepts and get used to using it in your own environment. You can't avoid it. Also it doesn't make too much sense to ask for the learning curve; everybody will have different learning curves for different tasks. For example, take me: if you're talking about Data Warehousing, relational databases in general, and C programming under Unix, count me in, these are areas I know (more or less) well. But as soon as it comes to Windows programming I'm a complete newbie with no experience at all. On the other hand you might be an experienced GUI programmer in Java and Windows but may have no conception of data warehousing in general. So the learning curve for GUI programming for me is much steeper than for you, but the learning curve for data warehouse related matters will be much steeper for you than for me. Of course Windows programming is an utterly different story than e.g. console-mode programming under Unix. This is a case where you can generally say, the learning curve for Windows is much steeper than for console-mode Unix applications for this and that and that reason. But despite such general facts asking for learning curves IMO doesn't make too much sense. See for yourself, that's all I can advise you to do. Regards, Nico
