Broken down into a table of skill level, components, perspective, decision, and commitment.

From Novice to Expert:

Skill Level Components (Context) Perspective Decision Commitment
Novice Context Free None Analytical Detached
Advanced Beginner Situational None Analytical Detached
Competence Situational Chosen Analytical Detached Understanding and Deciding; Involved Outcome
Proficiency Situational Experienced Analytical Involved understanding; detached deciding
Expertise Situational Experienced Analytical Involved

Distribution of Skill Level: Novice - 20% Advanced Beginner - 40% Competent - 30% Proficient - 8% Expert - 2%

“Before you assume that you’re the expert, remember that you’re probably an advanced beginner.”

Many programmers and other knowledge workers never advance past the Advanced Beginner Stage primarily because they never accept the emotional consequences for their decisions.

Zero to Expert

At this point it’s beneficial to focus on collecting recipes. If you only read about the recipes it’s impossible to move past zero to the novice state.
