==Before you start==
:This tutorial assumes that you have installed Plex 5.5, Eclipse >=3.1, Java 5.0 and Apache Tomcat 5.5 on your workstation. 

:If you are in doubt about any of this tools you should check the next section:

===[[Preparing your environment|Prepare your environment]]===
:See [[Preparing your environment]] for details. 

:The tutorial uses a MS SQL-Server 2005 as default database. You should have access to a SQL-Server where you are able to restore the tutorial DB or you could install 'MS SQL-Server 2005 Express' on your workstation.

===[[Extract the tutorial from CVS]] ===
:Before you can start playing with Plex and Eclipse you have to [[Extract the tutorial from CVS|extract the Plex-XML tutorial project]] from the [[all about software GmbH|all about]] [[CVS]] server.<br/>

===[[Restore the tutorial DB]] ===
:Open your Tutorial project in Eclipse and restore the prepared database from Database/MS_SQL_2005/Tutorial.bak to you MS SQL-Server.


==[[Tutorial Plex]]==
:In this part you are going to extent the basic Plex tutorial model by the Plex_XML pattern. Start [[Tutorial Plex|here]].


==[[Tutorial Eclipse]]==
:In this part you are going to prepare the Eclipse project for the first usage and build, deploy and test your first Plex-XML application. Start [[Tutorial Eclipse|here]].


==Congratulations==
:Your first Plex-XML application is ready to use. <br/>
:All existing informations like labels, field types, field length etc. are extracted via meta code from the Plex model. The security part with login and session handling is inherited by the Plex-XML pattern and the web design is the default from the XSLT's.


==[[Tutorial application help|How to use the tutorial application]]==
:Out of the box your application should look somewhat similar to this screen shot. 

:[[Tutorial application help|But what features are coming out of the box with the tutorial application? Come on, give them a try.]]

:If you don't have your own application ready you can use this one: [http://tutorial.plex-xml.com tutorial.plex-xml.com].
