Tutorial
========

`CubicWeb` is a semantic web application framework that favors reuse and
object-oriented design.

A `cube` is a component that includes a model defining the data types and a set of
views to display the data. 

An application is a `cube`, but usually an application is built by assembling
a few smaller cubes.

An `instance` is a specific installation of an application and includes
configuration files.

This tutorial will first discuss how easy it is to build a new `instance` based on
existing `cubes`. Then we'll see how we can develop new `cube`. We'll conclude
by illustrating the flexibility of the framework that enable us to
entirely customize your `instance`.
