+
+We're excited to announce an updated **beginner-level workshop** that teaches you how to build a file monitoring integration using **Kaoto's visual designer** and **Apache Camel**!
+
+## What's the Workshop About?
+
+The [**Listen to a Folder**](/workshop/beginner-file) workshop guides you through creating an integration that monitors a directory for file system changes. You'll learn how to watch folders, filter events, and automatically back up files when they are created.
+
+## What You'll Build
+
+A file monitoring integration that demonstrates:
+
+- **File System Monitoring** - Watching directories for CREATE, MODIFY, and DELETE events
+- **Event Filtering** - Using the Message Filter pattern to process only specific events
+- **Automatic Backup** - Copying newly created files to a backup directory
+- **Event Logging** - Tracking all file system changes with detailed information
+
+The complete integration monitors a folder, logs all file system events, filters for CREATE events, and automatically backs up newly created files to a separate directory.
+
+## What You'll Learn
+
+This hands-on workshop covers fundamental integration concepts:
+
+- **File system monitoring** - Using the `file-watch` component to detect changes
+- **Message headers** - Extracting metadata from Camel message headers
+- **Message Filter pattern** - Conditionally processing messages based on criteria
+- **Simple Expression Language** - Writing expressions to access message data
+- **Local testing** - Running and debugging Camel routes with Kaoto
+
+## Who Is This For?
+
+This is a **beginner-level workshop** designed for developers who:
+
+- Are new to Apache Camel and integration patterns
+- Want to learn visual low-code development with Kaoto
+- Need to understand file system integration
+- Are looking for a gentle introduction to Enterprise Integration Patterns
+
