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.
 
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 demystify MDriven, making it accessible for anyone eager to explore its potential. We show the ropes to anyone curious to find out 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.


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 are 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.
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.  


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 click and do this, click and do that, in a simple and unscary way.
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!


If you want to get into the tool all the way, or at least be able to produce something that gives real results, you need to learn the house and how to click. In the end, we can't shy away from building information systems for real life even though it is a bit complicated because real life is complicated. We show the ropes to anyone who is intrigued to at least be able to find out fairly easy how to do it without making a great mystery on how the thing works.

The great thing about having it documented in baby steps is that once you're on your merry way and far beyond it,  you might still want to go back and check a specific thing at a later date. 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.
Enjoy the experience!
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.
