Robert, even though (as JP said) this tutorial may be out of date, I
want you to know that we are doing a couple things right now:
  1) Improving the overall Mantissa API, and
  2) Creating a new Mantissa tutorial.

Among the many benefits of the API improvements, you will find that it
takes fewer steps (lines of code) to create applications.
Additionally, how the different parts of Mantissa interoperate will
also be much more clear.

We're hoping to have a first draft of the tutorial out a couple weeks
after PyCon this (about a month and a half from now). The tutorial
will be written in a branch, however, and will document the improved
API (in so much as a tutorial is geared to do so). If you are
interested in assisting us in its creation and/or fine-tuning as a
bleeding-edge user, let us know :-)
