My advice: don't sweat it. Best thing to do would be to code and build things, and then you'll come back to this article in a year and be like, oh, that's obvious. Abstruse technical details don't matter that much, especially when you're starting out.

I'm currently finishing up writing a programming book for absolute beginners and I couldn't agree more with this advice. Don't sweat it! You don't need to learn all of the details of the latest framework. Get comfortable with some small piece of the landscape, stake your claim, and build something you like with it.
