Hi guys,

I've been working on how to spruce up our website, docs and code samples.
While quickstarts are ok, they come as monolithic blobs which tell you 
nothing about how you got there. For this reason I believe a 
step-by-step tutorial approach is better and I've been looking at the 
AngularJS tutorials [0] as good examples on how to achieve this.
I have created a repo [1] on my GitHub user where each commit is a step 
in the tutorial. I have tagged the commits using 'step-n' so that you 
can checkout any of the steps and run them:

git checkout step-1
mvn clean package exec:java

The GitHub web interface can be used to show the diff between steps, so 
that it can be linked from the docs [2].

Currently I'm not aiming to build a real application (although 
suggestions are welcome in this sense), but just going through the 
basics, adding features one by one, etc.

Comments are welcome.

Tristan
