h2. General

The purpose of this tutorial is to provide a hands-on introduction for developers by demonstrating some of Delta Shell's most common functionality (that can be extended from the plugins).

h2. Tutorial outline

After having performed the tutorial you will get an impression of how a lumped hydrological model can be integrated into Delta Shell. Although the model used in this tutorial calculates some bogus volume output, it affects all kind of basic plugin development aspects, such as:
* importing time series from external files;
* creating a simple model structure;
* showing model properties;
* showing model data on a map;
* showing model data in a custom view;
* creating a Ribbon button.

In the end you are able to sequentially:
* create a volume model;
* import the precipication time series from a WaterML2 file and catchments geometry from a Shapefile;
* run the volume model;
* inspect the spatio-temporal output results.

A first impression of the results of the tutorial is shown in the following image:
