Sample Workspaces

Description

Alpha Anywhere ships with sample and tutorial workspaces that can be installed.

Important Notice for Community Edition Users

Most sample workspaces are not available in Alpha Anywhere Community Edition. Sample workspaces are designed for the full version of the Alpha Anywhere Development Environment. Community Edition users may encounter screen shots that don't match their environment due to differences between the two development environments.

We strongly recommend starting with the tutorials in the Alpha Software Learning Center to start learning Alpha Anywhere.
