It is, IMHO, more complex than this. The very first obvious parameter here are the inherent capabilities of a person in software development/design and implementation. I do not mean necessarily to make a web site from scratch. What I mean is practical experience in software already predisposes someone favourably when comes the time to put a web site together using existing components. The other notion would be what is becoming master at something and why ? Is it to be 'competitive on the market' ? If so, some people might consider that they do not want to be beside Beyoncé. And the market product of Beyoncé is some kind of a mastering at many level. Some people will never play like Al Di Meola or that other guy that was in Mahavishnu Orchestra ah, John McLaughlin. Or Fripp. Well, Neil Young does not play like them, quite the contrary in fact. Being a master of playing 3 notes in one second for 3 minutes might not be as good as playing only 20 notes inside 3 minutes. Good at doing something with creativity and honesty is already very worthwhile. So it depends a lot on the person. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
