+
+<CoreTutorialCard to="/core/docs/groovy/tutorials/crash-course/get-started/">
+
+## Get started
+
+This guide provides a broad - but clear and technically informative - overview of Deephaven's capabilities. Dive in and unlock the potential of this powerful platform.
+
+</CoreTutorialCard>
+
+<CoreTutorialCard to="/core/docs/groovy/tutorials/crash-course/architecture-overview/">
+
+## Architecture overview
+
+Deephaven's power is largely due to the concept that everything is a table.
+
+</CoreTutorialCard>
+
+<CoreTutorialCard to="/core/docs/groovy/tutorials/crash-course/create-tables/">
+
+## Create tables
+
+Learn to create tables from scratch with synthetic data or by importing data from external sources.
+
+</CoreTutorialCard>
+
+<CoreTutorialCard to="/core/docs/groovy/tutorials/crash-course/table-ops/">
+
+## Table operations
+
+This section will cover some table operations that appear in almost all queries.
+
+</CoreTutorialCard>
+
+<CoreTutorialCard to="/core/docs/groovy/tutorials/crash-course/query-strings/">
+
+## Query strings
+
+Deephaven query strings are the primary way of expressing commands directly to the Deephaven engine. They translate the user's intention into compiled code that the engine can execute.
+
+</CoreTutorialCard>
+
+<CoreTutorialCard to="/core/docs/groovy/tutorials/crash-course/parallelization/">
+
+## Query parallelization
+
+Learn how Deephaven automatically uses multiple CPU cores to dramatically improve query performance, and how to write queries that leverage parallelization effectively.
+
+</CoreTutorialCard>
+
+<CoreTutorialCard to="/core/docs/groovy/tutorials/crash-course/plots/">
+
+## Real-time plots
+
+Whether your data is static or updating in real time, Deephaven supports plotting via multiple libraries, including its own built-in plotting API.
+
+</CoreTutorialCard>
+
+<CoreTutorialCard to="/core/docs/groovy/tutorials/crash-course/export-data/">
+
+## Data I/O
+
+Data I/O is mission-critical for any real-time data analysis platform. Deephaven supports a wide variety of data sources and formats, including CSV, Parquet, Kafka, and more.
+
+</CoreTutorialCard>
+
+<CoreTutorialCard to="/core/docs/groovy/tutorials/crash-course/configure/">
+
+## Configure your Deephaven Instance
+
+This section covers configuration details needed to take your Deephaven instance beyond the defaults.
