>>I am sure I will get to these course one of these days. I just need to finish this project which is ASP.NET Web Forms so the EF and some other technoliegies not quite applicable. And I agree that all these new things are exciting and very much fun to learn. What bothers me though is, what takes me weeks to learn, some 20-x kid would learn in hours <g> (tough to compete).

I am a much better student now than when I was in college as I have learned a lot *about* how I learn and I have fewer unknown variables in my own life acting as distractions. I suspect many of us are like that.)

I think you are confusing being a good learner with being mature :). Just kidding, of course.
