Yes but thing is you dont learn anything new because it wornt work out exactly the way you expected. One chooses the right tool for the right job, one doenst choose the unsuitable tool just so you can learn that it dont work out all that well. MAinly because youll just waste 2 weeks on very new stuff an at the end of they day gain nothing over what you can do now.
So learn the tools in context where it easily makes sense. Its about teh end result you know. Besides it would take faar to long to find out what yyoud need to be teached inorder for you to pass up thet alley.
