 CMake Tutorial
 **************
 
+This tutorial provides a step-by-step guide that covers common build
+system issues that CMake helps address. Seeing how various topics all
+work together in an example project can be very helpful. This tutorial
+can be found in the ``Help/guide/tutorial`` directory of the CMake
+source code tree. Each topic has its own subdirectory containing code
+that may be used as a starting point for that step. The tutorial
+examples are progressive so that each step provides the complete
+solution for the previous step.

 A Basic Starting Point (Step 1)
 ===============================
 
+The most basic project is an executable built from source code files.
+For simple projects, a two line CMakeLists file is all that is required.
+This will be the starting point for our tutorial. The CMakeLists file
+looks like:
+
+.. literalinclude:: Step1/CMakeLists.txt
+  :language: cmake
+
+Note that this example uses lower case commands in the CMakeLists file.
+Upper, lower, and mixed case commands are supported by CMake. The source
+code for ``tutorial.cxx`` will compute the square root of a number and
+the first version of it is very simple, as follows:
+
+.. literalinclude:: Step1/tutorial.cxx
+  :language: c++

 Adding a Version Number and Configured Header File
