IMNSHO, a Masters is unlikely to make you better at real-world development, 
except in some specialized situations.  Most of what I saw back when I was 
taking courses for a Masters were programs aimed at producing grad students who 
would help Comp Sci researchers, not real-world developers dealing with 
real-world problems.
