+Welcome to JBossESB. Within this directory and its sub-directories you will find documentation on JBossESB as well as some background concepts around Service Oriented Architecture principles and where an ESB should fit. However, because there is a lot of documentation, we have provided this README to help you decide where to start.
+
+If this is your first encounter with JBossESB (or ESBs in general), then we recommend the following route through our documentation:
+
+(i) Start with the Getting Started Guide, as this will give you an overview of what's available within JBossESB and how to get going quickly.
+
+(ii) Move on to the QuickStart Guide (Samples sub-directory), which will give you an overview of the various QuickStarts (examples) that ship with the product.
+
+(iii) For an overview of SOA concepts, take a look at the Concepts document (in the Advanced sub-directory).
+
+(iv) When you are ready, move on to the same sequence of documents as veteran JBossESB developers.
+
+
+If you are a veteran of JBossESB, or ESBs in general veteran, then we recommend:
+
+(i) Check the ReleaseNotes to see what's different between this release and the previous one.
+
+(ii) Go through the Administration Guide to ensure that your installation is appropriately configured and you are confident about managing it.
+
+(iii) Next move on to the Programmers Guide, which will give you an in depth description of JBossESB components and services.
+
+(iv) Depending upon the type of application you wish to develop, you may want to look at the documents in the advanced and services sub-directories.
+
+(v) Read through the MessageAction Guide to familiarize yourself with the out-of-the-box Actions. You may find them useful when developing new applications.
+
+(vi) Look at the Adapters Guide: not everything you will be integrating with JBossESB will be able to understand the native protocols it uses.
+
+(vii) Finish with the Management and Monitoring Guide in the governance sub-directory.
