All it takes is the discipline to get your nose in the books and try to make sense out of it by actual examples and experimenting. I still haven't touched the 3D aspect of my Yaroze yet, but I've pretty much mastered the 2D aspect of it. And truthfully, it is the most fun I've EVER had programming. For a while there, I was a little depressed at the lack of a Yaroze community and support, and added to that, tons of work that I had to do just pushed my Yaroze further and further away. I never forgot it though. As soon as work died down, I went back to it. And right now, I'm doing more Yaroze programming than I am working! I can't keep this up for too long of course, but boy is it ever fulfilling! One thing I'd recommend though, is as you go along discovering more and more of the Yaroze, keep notes about what you find. Some things don't work the way the documentation says, and sometimes you might just find a useful method of doing something. This will help keep your confidence high because you actual feel like you are retaining something from your experiences.
