The split of Twisted into separate projects is definitely progress in this direction, because tutorials for each project could be worked out on their own. When I first got into Twisted about a year and a half ago, I had relatively little trouble learning how to use the basics of Twisted, but figuring out how to use each component was (and is) intimidating. Developing a web page in Twisted and writing a chat server, for example, have radically different learning paths to follow.
I had the same trouble when I first tried Twisted too. :)
You mentioned you're teaching someone Twisted Web -- is that just the twisted.web/old-woven stuff or are you taking on nevow?
I am using Nevow and trying to build some projects under it. My goal is to create a complete webmail, based on Cyrus IMAP and its features (Sieve, Shared Folders, etc). The frontend must be easy to customize for each customer and I think nevow is the right templating system for that. I tried Quotient, it is excellent, but it is not the right system for my needs.
