    Hi,

    The Getting Started tutorial is very good and effective for newbies.
    (at least this is what I observed with several users).

    IMHO there are a few small things that could make it more accessible:
    - numbering the steps.
    - a PDF for print version (might be published on InfoQ as a mini-book too :) ).
    - syntax highlight for all code snippets(java, jsp and html too) for better reading.
    - announce it on TheServerside too. Developers hear too seldom about Cayenne. E.g. about
    Hibernate there's every week some tips, articles or just "pseudo-news" so that it's "not forgotten"
       :).

    Ahmed.
    P.S. Also a few screenshots of CM and DVModeler with a direct link from the Main menu' wouldn't be
    bad idea IMHO (you could check the stats - new users always look at the screenshots first :) ).
