Introduction to MDriven Bootcamp: Your Path to Proficiency

Embarking on a learning journey can be daunting, especially when it involves mastering a complex tool like MDriven. However, with the right approach and guidance, you can transform from a novice to a proficient information modeler, delivering exceptional business value to your customers at an unprecedented speed. Welcome to the MDriven Bootcamp!

What is Bootcamp?

The MDriven Bootcamp is an educational package designed to teach you how to use the MDriven tools, step by step. Our mission is to take you from a beginner to an advanced user, all while keeping the learning process engaging and easy to grasp.

Whether you want to dive deep into the tool or simply produce results that matter, you need to learn the ropes. Building information systems for real-world applications can be complex, but life itself is intricate. We’re here to showcase MDriven, making it accessible for anyone eager to explore its potential. We show the ropes to anyone curious to find out what MDriven does fairly easily - ensuring you can revisit and refresh your knowledge whenever needed. Each step comes with a video tutorial, making it as natural as if we were right there with you.

We will hold your hand through more than a hundred meticulously crafted steps until you’re equipped to wield MDriven’s capabilities effectively. Our purpose is to guide you through a series of small and unintimidating baby steps with clear instructions. You may not be a maestro when you meet your first client, but you’ll know how to navigate the terrain and where to start your quest for solutions.

Why MDriven?

The Learning Process

We start with modeling and handling the tool, adding classes, and dragging on associations because when we have been in a classroom, it has been difficult for people to try the tool for the first time. Quite a few have managed to create an association to self, encountering errors and struggling with how to delete them. This is why we invest extra effort into these first steps, ensuring you not only escape pitfalls but also grasp the mechanics, including the reasons why we separate the model as a repository with all the classes versus the diagrams that only show part of what is in the model.

Your Journey Begins Here

Our goal is to help you cover vast ground while taking small, manageable steps. So, if you’re ready to explore MDriven, take that first step with us!

Start here: Chapter 1

Enjoy the experience!

-We cannot confirm that there will be exactly 1000 steps, as there may be more. To learn, however, you can start at step 1 and make sure you master the steps in order. Soon, you will be a productive information modeler bringing business value to your customers at an unprecedented speed.

-The 1000 Steps to MDriven is a new approach or introduction to  M-driven. It is a  learning package starting from the very beginning, explaining everything in the smallest detail, but with constant forward progress to learn one more thing. At some point, maybe after 100 or 200 steps, you will know enough of the handicraft to actually start to "talk" and express yourself with the tools.
-Looking ahead, there  will  be  quite  a  few  steps. Once you  have  gone  through  a  sort  of  happy  path  from  knowing  nothing to actually  producing web applications, there's lots of side tracks that one can  talk about. You might not be fluent in everything when you  meet your  first  customer  client, but at least you will know that things exist and where  to start looking to find things.

-The purpose is to guide through a series of super small steps - baby steps. As soon as I saw the thousand steps, and I saw  what the source  steps were, I thought thousand baby steps -   very, very small. It's just what, click  and  do  this,  click  and  do  that, in a simple and unscary way.

-But  I  mean,  some  things  might,  if  you  want  to  get  into  the  tool  all  the  way,  or  at  least  be  able  to  produce  something  that  gives  real  results,  and  you  need  to  learn  the  house  and  how  to  click.  And  maybe  that  has  been  like,  let's  see  if  this  works.  And  in  the  end,  we  can't  shy  away  from  building  information  systems  for  real  life  is  a  bit  complicated  because  real  life  is  complicated.  And  then we need to  also  accept  that  it's  not  for  everyone.  But  the  ones  that has  the ability should  at  least  be  able  to  find  that  out  fairly  easy  how  to  do  it.  So  it  shouldn't  be  a  mystery  on  how  the  thing  works.
+==== The Learning Process ====
+We start with modeling and handling the tool, adding classes, and dragging on associations because when we have been in a classroom, it has been difficult for people to try the tool for the first time. Quite a few have managed to create an association to self, encountering errors and struggling with how to delete them.

-And  the  great  thing  about  having  it  documented  in  baby  steps  is  that once  you're  on  your  merry  way  and  for  beyond  it,  you  might  still  want to  go  back  and  check  a  specific  thing  at  a  later  date.  And  all  the  steps  are  accompanied  by  a  video.  So  I  am  welcome  to  enter.  It's  me talking basically,  but  trying to  show  every  single  thing  we  do.  And  the way  I  produce  this  is  that  I  am  sort  of  write  the  steps  as  they  feel  natural  to  me.  But  as  I  do,  I  might  be  skimming  over  things  or  neglecting  to  explain  important things.  So  I'm very  interested  in  getting  some  kind  of  feedback  from  those  of  you  who  know  the tool,  but  still  check this  out  to  see  if  there's  things  that we  can  improve.  Not  necessarily  that we're  going to redo  a  lot  of  the  steps,  but  we  could  do add-ons  to  this,  like,  side  tracks,  to  go deeper into  things  that  might  be complicated.

-And  then  also,  there's  always  a  challenge  what  the  path  should  be.  Now  we  started  with  modeling  and  just  handling  the  tool,  adding  classes,  and  dragging  on  associations.  Why  we  do that is because when we  have  been  in  a  classroom  earlier,  that's not  really  an  extremely  simple  thing  for  people  trying  the  tool  for  the  first  time.  Quite  a  few  have  managed  to  create  an  association  to  self and not finding it  and  getting  a  lot of  errors  and not  understanding  how  to delete it.  So  that's  why we  put  some effort into those  first  steps  to  just being able to  get  out  of  trouble  and  also know  how the  mechanics  work  and  the  separation  of  the  model  as  a  repository  with all  the clauses  versus  the  diagrams  that  only show  part  of  what's  in  the  model.  So  now we  are at step 150  or  something like  that.  And I think it's  good  that  we're  already  running  a  web application  and  adding  or  changing  the  seeker  forms  to  do  some  more  complex  seeking  than  they  came  with  initially.  So  I'm  very  happy  that  we're  able  to,  even  though  we take extremely  small  steps,  we  cover  ground.  So  that's also the  main  objective  with  this.
