Depends - I've been using it for years and am still learning things
about it, and there are features I've never used. The process of
learning C++ (or anything) is a continuum. I don't know where Cline/
Lomow/Girou came up with the "6-12 months" number, which seems rather
arbitrary to me. I would guess it depends on how new you are to
programming, OO, how fast you learn, etc.

Keep in mind you can be productive with and write good C++ programs in
a lot shorter time than that, even if you don't know how to use
everything.
