Well, I don't have a classical programming background. Originally I'm a graphic-designer, but I did a lot of Flash and Web programming too (PHP, JavaScript, HTML, CSS). As projects became more and more complex, I decided to study software development. My thesis was completely unrelated to web-applications. It was a C++ software in the area of medical image processing. I was making use of the QT Framework there, which has a lot of similarities with the GUI classes of qooxdoo. Using a generator (or compiler) doesn't seem alien at all, it's just an approach that isn't used frequently in web related areas. I guess knowing different technologies (or programming idioms) helped me a great deal. After all, developing a qooxdoo application seemed quite straight-forward and painless to do.
