-A `cube` is a component that includes a model defining the data types and a set of
-views to display the data. A cube can be built by assembling other cubes.
+
+This tutorial is designed to help in your very first steps to start with
+|cubicweb|. We will glance through basic concepts such as:
 
-An `instance` is a specific installation of a cube and includes configuration
-files.
+* having an application running by using existing components
+* discovering the default user interface
+* basically extending and customizing the look and feel of that application
+
+More advanced concepts will covered in :ref:`advanced_tutorial`.
 
 
-This tutorial will show how to create a `cube` and how to use it as an
-application to run an `instance`.

+Some vocabulary
+---------------
+
+|cubicweb| comes with a few words of vocabulary that you should know to
+understand what we're talking about. To follow this tutorial, you should at least
+know that:
+
+* a `cube` is a component that usually includes a model defining some data types
+  and a set of views to display them. A cube can be built by assembling other
+  cubes;
+
+* an `instance` is a specific installation of one more more cubes and includes
