We're all talking about this, apparently. (mine's here)My take is a little different. I agree that you have to work through your apprentice, journeyman, and then master stages. But I also think that, at the apprentice level, getting too hardcore into theory will hurt you as much as help.
The most important part of any apprentice work is getting it done. The point of an apprentice project is to prove (mostly to yourself) that you can finish a project. If you are trying too hard to get all the newest, coolest innovations into your apprentice project, you will never finish it.
