I mean, maybe I'm talking out of my ass here but can you really learn any sort of software development these days without also picking up OOP? In the beginning I knew OOP existed and was a good idea but it took the better part of a year to really grasp how to make the best use of concepts like inheritance and separation of concerns. With enough practice, though, it just becomes part of the fun -- building tidily organized systems, refactoring the code into specific objects to iron out redundancy. I'm weak on TDD, though. I have a hard time getting excited about writing unit tests.
