The Bootcamp offers three levels: Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced.

• Beginner: practice modeling, adding a user interface, and running an app.
• Intermediate: explore concepts including OCL, types of actions, and placing containers.
• Advanced: work with topics such as uploading a model to a server, adding graphs, and creating reports.

Start with Chapter 1

Chapter 1 introduces starting MDriven Designer, basic modeling, classes, associations, and pressing Play.

In Chapter 1, you will:

1. Follow the installation instructions in the Before Starting Guide.
2. Create and save an empty model.
3. Create a Person class and add a string Name attribute.
4. Press Play, select XML persistence, and open the Debugger.
5. Use person.allinstances to inspect instances of Person.
6. Create and save two Person objects.
7. Add a Car class, associate it with Person, and add a string RegistrationNumber attribute.

Later Bootcamp material includes creating a data-dependent diagram. Chapter 13, for example, directs learners to adapt an SVG vertical bar-chart example so that it displays model data.
