LightSwitch Guided Tour

The LightSwitch Guided Tour is a set of lessons designed to introduce you to the basic capabilities of LightSwitch. The lessons step you through the process of creating an application, familiarizing you with the LightSwitch development environment along the way.

The lessons should be followed sequentially, as each step builds on the last.
