Apama Studio is packaged with several sample programs and tutorials. These are available from the Apama Welcome screen, which is displayed when you start Apama Studio for the first time and which is always available by selecting Help > Welcome from the Apama Studio menu. From the Welcome screen click Samples or Tutorials and then click Apama Samples or Apama Tutorials.

The Apama samples are demonstration applications that illustrate some of the features and capabilities of the Apama platform; they include dashboards in which you can interact with the application and readme files that describe what the application does, what files make up the project, and how you might modify the application. Use the demonstration applications to gain an overview of what goes into an Apama project and what some common Apama applications can do.

The tutorials are interactive instructions that get you quickly up to speed writing Event Processing Language programs, creating scenarios, defining reusable blocks for use in scenarios, and creating dashboards that provide the user interface to scenarios. Each tutorial provides a skeleton project and a completed project. At the end of the tutorial instructions, you run the project.

When you open a sample or a tutorial for the first time, it is copied into the Eclipse workspace. You can revert to the original sample or tutorial without any changes you’ve made at any time by deleting the project as follows:

Then open the project again from the Tutorials or Samples Welcome page.
