Hi Ulf, Most development tutorials you'll find assumes some knowledge on JSP/Java. Not to discourage you or anything, but even most people with JSP/Java experience has a lot to learn when it comes to Magnolia or any other CMS for that matter. If you don't have any web development experience I would recommend getting help from someone. Unfortunately, there are no published books on Magnolia (that I know of) but there are plenty on web development. You can easily get started by installing Magnolia and using the samples templates and components to build your site, but doing any customization will require you to do some scripting. If you can afford it, the enterprise version comes with the SiteDesigner which will allow you to put together a website and not do any scripting. Here's some information on the SiteDesigner: http://documentation.magnolia-cms.com/modules/sitedesigner.html.
