I wholeheartedly agree that it's hard to get into. In fact, most of the frameworks are. This has been a pretty awful block for a long time. This is what I was hoping to help with the fusebox xml cheat sheet (http://www.dopefly.com/projects/fuseboxxmlcheatsheet.cfm).
Of course that only documents part of the story, it doesn't give you what you really need.
I believe all frameworks need a 4-step introduction:
1) Overview for confused individuals 2) Setup instructions - what the different downloads are, how to start an app, getting to hello world
3) How to make something. A database-connected form, for example 4) How to debug an existing, complex application
This process should work for ORM frameworks as well as Dependency Injection frameworks and whatever else. Of course this is an introduction, and doesn't really dive deeply into the internals - that stuff is also needed, at least on some level. Oh, and cheat sheets. Gotta love the cheat sheets. For fusebox, I think we need a zero config conventions cheat sheet, like the no-xml cheat sheet. I'll think about doing it myself.

I'd be interested to hear what people recommend on Fusebox training.
