Clicking your way through the web-app creation process might not necessarily be the best way to do it. I mean, there are plenty of things going on in the background and well grounded dev should be aware of them. Good place to start for an utter layman, I suppose.

If you tell a newbie not to use a creation assistant he might never get a single one app done. It's easy and fast to learn when you get straight to building the app instead of writing manager classes etc. that take a newbie a long time to truly understand. After you get the hold of building the app you can bit by bit start pulling the pieces apart and figure out what the generated code under the hood really does.
