I was tasked with building a WPF project with no prior experience. I jumped on pluralsight for a lecture on wpf and mvvm, then started building the app. I realized I could use a framework for mvvm but I've learned a lot by doing everything from scratch. At one point I realized I needed some plugins for help (INotifyPropertyChanged, I'm looking at you) and started using them, which has made my life considerably easier. Build the project, use what tools are necessary. Don't let tools dictate your project. I've been down that hole a lot with JS. Gulp, Webpack, Grunt, Node, Express, Babel, ClojureScript, TypeScript, and it goes on and on and on.
