What is mentoring?  

It’s the most important tool in learning a new technology.

Object-oriented and generic thinking is caught, not just taught. Get cozy with someone who really knows what they’re talking about, and try to get inside their head and watch them solve problems. Listen. Learn by emulating.

If you’re working for a company, get them to bring someone in who can act as a mentor and guide. We’ve seen gobs and gobs of money wasted by companies who “saved money” by simply buying their employees a book (“Here’s a book; read it over the weekend; on Monday you’ll be an OO/generic developer”).
