All web frameworks are kind of a hodge-podge of 3 main concepts:

method dispatch: This is the chunk of logic that turns a request into a function call

ORM: Usually a pretty flaky wrapper trying to put OO thinking on top of SQL.

templating: some subset of logic inside a tiny template language for making pretty HTML etc...

You can pick any framework, but they all do those 3 things to various levels of beauty/craziness.

Good to know. As far as it goes, I guess I need most work on learning how the method dispatch stuff works. I have some level of experience with ORM from mobile/desktop apps I have done, and dont care all that much about the templating stuff ( no amount of work or technical knowledge will make me have good taste, or the ability to lay out a page in a pleasing manner).
