Question

I come from a scientific and embedded programming background, and I have had minimal experience with web programming. What would be the best approach to take to get up to speed with web programming? Tools and framework suggestions?

One approach would be to dive into learning a framework, such as Rails. I started doing this with rails tutorial, but I find that the framework abstracts so many important concepts that I should be learning.

To sum up, experienced programmer wants to learn web-app programming.
