need a structured learning approach

[arjoshi]

Greetings to everyone from a completely fresh and new beginner to the ofbiz community. I'm impressed by the features that ofbiz has and intend to cover every ground of knowledge about the project. But I don't quite know where to start. I looked at the books page here and have prima facie decided to adopt the approach of reading the book and looking for corresponding concepts in the ofbiz API documentation. Having said that the question I have is that is there a one-to-one mapping between the concepts in the texts listed in the ofbiz books page and the actual implementation? or else my study effort would be inefficient. While conducting my study I intend to... for example read the concepts of inventory management and play with the code assuming that those concepts are indeed implemented so that I get exposure both to theory as well as get a chance to look at the implementation of the concept. I intend to give my self a a  year to master the concepts as well as implementation knowledge of ofbiz ( doing about 6-7 hours a day part time) . Is this over-ambitious or sufficient?

Any guidance/help from veterans/current users is welcome.

At least you should try to begin by http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBADMIN/OFBiz+Documentation+Index
