Well said. It took me years to understand this. You don't need to understand every last detail in a book to get to work. I'm a great C and C++ programmer, but when it comes to web based applications I would say I'm merely better at knowing where to fidget with the code first, rather than knowing what's really going on.

Train yourself where the best places to massage the code are and most solutions can be found within minutes.
