I have found that it is usually not that big of a deal when you have to approach your current boss about the idea that you might be moving on. Just about all of my former employers have been positive because I was advancing myself in a way that they just could not provide (available position, pay, etc). My current employer actually accelerated my promotion when he found out I was being offered (and looking at) a position at another company.
I would sit down and talk to your current boss explaining that you are at a point where you need to move on in order to gain experience in your field that your current position just can't provide. Don't press the idea that you want to leave because you are unhappy. Most reasonable people who have any sort of work experience will be more then happy to help you, especially if you are on good terms with them. Good luck.
