 # Documentation
 
-### Apex Core
+Primary documentation for Apache Apex including overviews of the product, security,
+application development, operators and the commandline tool is
+[here](/docs/apex/). Documentation for the Apache Apex Malhar operator library
+including a diagrammatic taxonomy and some in-depth tutorials for selected operators
+(such as Kafka Input) is [here](/docs/malhar/).
 
-Latest documentation is available in [Apex Core Docs](/docs/apex/) and <a href="https://www.datatorrent.com/docs/apidocs/" rel="nofollow">Apex JavaDoc</a>.
+The Java API for both the platform and the operator library is
+<a href="https://www.datatorrent.com/docs/apidocs/" rel="nofollow">here</a>.
 
-### Apex Malhar
+The following sections provide links to additional informative material such as
+presentations, videos and blogs.
 
-Latest documentation is available in [Apex Malhar Docs](/docs/malhar/).

-### Writing Apex Applications
+### Writing Apache Apex Applications
 
 - [Building Your First Apache Apex Application (video)](https://youtu.be/LwRWBudOjg4)
+This video has a hands-on demonstration of how to check out the source code
+repositories and build them, then run the maven archetype command
+to generate a new Apache Apex project, populate the project with Java source files
+for a new application, and finally, build and run the application -- all on a
+virtual machine running Linux with Apache Hadoop installed. 
+
 - [Top N Words Application Tutorial](http://docs.datatorrent.com/tutorials/topnwords/)
+This document provides a detailed step-by-step description of how to build and
+run a word counting application with Apache Apex starting with setting up your
+development, progressing to building, running and monitoring the application,
+visualizing the output and concluding with some advanced features such as
+assessing operator memory requiremnets, partitioning, and debugging.
+
 - [Sales Dimensions Application Tutorial](http://docs.datatorrent.com/tutorials/salesdimensions/)
+Similar to the Top N Words application but covers dimensional computations on a
+simulated sales data stream.
+
 - [Example Applications](https://github.com/DataTorrent/examples)
+A `git` repository with sample code for specialized tutorials covering a
+a variety of topcs such as a high-performance key-value store (HDHT), custom
+partitioning using stream codecs, etc.
+
 - [Malhar Demos](https://github.com/apache/incubator-apex-malhar/tree/master/demos)
+This is part of the source repository for Apache Apex Malhar and contains a number
+of more substantial sample applications that developers will find especially useful.
+They include an application that computes some
+statistics (such as moving averages) from a live stream of stock transactions from
+**Yahoo! Finance**; one that analyzes a synthetic stream of eruption event data for
+the **Old Faithful** geyser; a Twitter stream analyzer; and a simulated fraud
+detector.
