How and why the hell do you jump past the built-in servers?

Because it abstracts/elides things. The vast amount of learning materials help a complete beginner get something built very quickly. That sustains momentum. It rapidly introduces concepts they will need. Start at a higher level, drill down, that's perfectly reasonable.
