Is Umbraco easy to learn?

Umbraco

Umbraco is touted as the all seeing all doing CMS for the ASP.net platform. For a designer turned developer it poses a few obstacles in the learning curve required to integrate existing ASP.net objects.

This is a pity as the main stumbling point I have noticed is the Umbraco terminology or how it names and references aspects of the Umbraco architecture. I fully expect that for a seasoned ASP.net developer this poses no problems whatsoever, but the simplicity of creating web spaces with business logic has with the advent of Umbraco version 4 got a touch more difficult.

Is there a problem then? Well no not really, I have been banging away at Umbraco trying to figure it out and basically I think I am sort of there now. Well enough to be able to sell an Umbraco enabled website anyway.
