FAQ Part 1: The Basics
A MUST READ: In this week's newsletter, we are sharing the first of several installments of FAQs gathered and answered by our CEO Steve Newcomb. In this week's installment, Steve answers the the most common high-level questions to help you understand the basics about Famo.us in a 12-page Google Doc that everyone can access.
In the coming weeks, Steve will continue to personally answer the FAQs. He will, as always, include his personal email for anyone with questions.

How long does it take to learn Famo.us?
Based on our experience with Hack Reactor students and private beta participants, this timeline is typical:
30 minutes: You complete the intro lessons in Famo.us University.
Hour 2: You build your first app example with physics animations.
Hour 3: You can learn new techniques by reading Famo.us source code for any of the 40 example app interfaces in our gallery. You can also easily read and understand the reference documentation.
Then until sunrise: You look through the examples to get inspired. You work all night to build your first app, and it’s awesome.
1 week: You can build any of the animation example demos, you’ve mastered the concepts of Famo.us, and you’ve submitted some animation demos of your own to the community gallery.
2 weeks: You feel empowered to begin your own project in earnest with hopes of building an award-winning app.
1 month: You never look back.
