It's rough, Hal, because until you get into an MVC framework and start messing with it, it's REALLY hard to explain. I decided to up and buy the Rails bible ("Agile Web Development with Rails") and leap in with both feet, and I've found it to be a VERY flexible and FAST-to-develop-with framework. MUCH faster than PHP or Perl, both of which I've acquired some expertise with in the last eight years.

Oh My God, you've so hit what I hate about PHP. Literally, unless you've go the docs right there with you, you can forget coding anything--because this string function might be spelled "string_doaction" or "strfdoaction" or "strDoAction".... God help us all. After working exclusively in PHP every day for over three years, I still only have memorized the proper spelling of a few dozen functions.
