I'm a codeigniter fan, but i would have to agree that starting with rolling your own simple app is best. When i first started i decided to build an online shoe store in ASP (dating myself here). It was't anything fancy, but I learned a lot about many of the different aspects of design and development. Data modeling, SQL, Stored Procedures, interface design, scripting (both client and server), etc. The other benefit was that I was able to include it in my portfolio. I find practical application is the best way to learn and develop marketable skills.
