Is learning a framework harder than to learn programming?
I learned C/C++, Java, SQL and know how most common patterns work.
But I've never really used a framework before and a few months ago I wanted to work with rails. But for me it was harder than learning about 4 star pointers or something like that.
Especially if you programmed nearly everything before by yourself it's hard to get comfort with the "magic" behind rails.
I tried to create some small webapps with rails to get in touch with it, but to be honest: without Ryan Bates awesome railscasts I can't write a single line of code!
How did you learn to work with frameworks like rails or django?
