Well that is the nature of technology, ever evolving. There will always be new concepts. If you're trying to get started ASAP and the internet isn't enough, I'd recommend buying a book and using Spark 1.6. A lot of production stacks are still on that version and the knowledge from mastering 1.6 is transferable to 2+. I think that beats waiting forever.
