I'd agree with parts of your assertions. I tend to learn how things by diving in as well. But, I geared the post towards people who were starting from scratch

I'd agree with parts of your assertions. I tend to learn how things by diving in as well. But, I geared the post towards people who were starting from scratch. If one of those people tried to pick up RoR or Django, they would be hopelessly lost. So, This was intended to at least give them a direction. Also, I posted the time frames to give an estimate of how long it would take to gain a basic grasp of the tools mentioned. I might have to edit to post to reflect that.
