I am a Half-Life addict, ive been playing HL since I was 10. I beat hl2, and personally loved the game. Ive tried messing around in hammer, and gotten nowhere. I figured this would be a really good place to go to get information, and for people to help me with beggining mapping. I have always wanted to become a part in the HL/HL2 community, not just a player. I have a few questions, and I thank you for helping me out.

Is it very difficult to learn how to use hammer? Is there a steep learning curve?

Do you know of any websites that have FAQ's for beggining mapping?

What is a brush? What does it do? How does the player interact with it? What are entities?

Do you have any advice for a beggining mapper?

I know, many of you will find this cheesy, and "newbish", but I would like to try mapping out. Ive always loved to design things like level concepts in CAD, or draw them, and I really just want to take it one step further, I thank you for any advice, and your time.
