You are starting your Liferay PaaS project and we want to help you have a good start. The documentation on learn.liferay.com is the best source of Liferay PaaS knowledge for anyone on the project team. However, we have created some supplementary tutorials specifically to assist with the challenges that Administrators face at the beginning of the project. As an Admin, you have the responsibility of gaining expertise with Liferay PaaS so that you can effectively deploy and maintain your Liferay project on the cloud. 

Below is a list of tutorials that can serve as ‘quick start guides’. They have specific outcomes with the intent of giving you enough basic knowledge now to get started rapidly. The tutorials are not meant to fulfill all the requirements you may have for your project. Depending on your specific requirements, you may need to go more in-depth on certain topics. Use these tutorials as a tool to introduce yourself to important features of the product.
