> often online solutions where information and knowledge is often online and accessible. I haven't had that experience at all, and my long software career has intentionally involved working in many different industries. In my experience, most meaningful domain knowledge comes from peers, books, classes, trade journals, trade shows, etc Online resources are almost always feeble and superficial in comparison because most domains don't have a tradition of self-educated people just rolling in and trying to slap stuff together the way software does. It sounds like you want to take this new opportunity seriously, and I encourage you to try doing that away from your desk and browser. Instead, immerse yourself in whatever you can of those more substantial, real-world sources of knowledge -- most especially by engaging directly with your new peers and colleagues.
