=========

> How do I learn Ruby on Rails? Vim? Test-Driven Development?

[Our apprentice program](http://apprentice.thoughtbot.com) has forced us to formalize our answers to

such questions.

A few problems make those questions difficult to answer. Individuals:

* have different levels of experience

* have different learning styles

* change their goals mid-process

A good metaphor for the learning process is a (hiking, biking, or skiing) trail

map. Individuals:

* start in different places

* want to go to different places

* change direction mid-journey
