One of the frequently asked question by *new Ivy users* is to suggest a tutorial which can help them to understand Ivy in easy steps.
Understanding their frustration, as I too had struggled a lot with my first Ivy enabled project, i have written *Apache Ivy - Beginners Guide* ( in PDF format ) which explain simple steps required use Ivy in a live project. This Step by Step guide helps beginners in understanding basic Ivy concepts/tasks and use them straight away in their projects either through Ant build or in Eclipse IDE.
