+
+Building a simple blog with |cubicweb|
+======================================
+
+|cubicweb| is a semantic web application framework that favors reuse and
+object-oriented design.
+
+
+This tutorial is designed to help in your very first steps to start with
+|cubicweb|. We will tour through basic concepts such as:
+
+* getting an application running by using existing components
+* discovering the default user interface
+* basic extending and customizing the look and feel of that application
+
+More advanced concepts are covered in :ref:`TutosPhotoWebSite`.
+
+
+.. _TutosBaseVocab:
+
+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 or more cubes and includes
+  configuration files, a web server and a database.
+
+Reading :ref:`Concepts` for more vocabulary will be required at some point.
+
+Now, let's start the hot stuff!
