Before the components and the DataWeave, the problem MuleSoft solves — and how Anypoint Platform, the Mule runtime, and Studio each fit into it.
MuleSoft from Scratch
Integration for newcomers — what MuleSoft is, your first Mule app, DataWeave, connectors, and a deploy to the cloud.

Hello, Mule: From Empty Canvas to a Live Endpoint
Sign up for Anypoint, install Studio, and build the canonical first Mule app — an HTTP listener that answers on :8081, run it locally, and hit it with curl.

Green Checks with MUnit
Test Mule flows the way you'd test any code — arrange, act, assert — and mock the network so your suite runs offline. Plus where the beginner series ends and the real work begins.
