 The Stocks sample is also a web application.  You should be able to run it in your IDE, e.g. if you imported the project into STS (or Eclipse with Maven support) you can drag it onto a server, or use `Run As...->On Server`.  From the command line you can use

 The web UI is designed like the swing client - it has a ticker table
 that updates every second (if there is any new data), and an order
 entry form. The `QuoteController` manages the interaction between the
 browser and the application and between the application and the AMQP
 broker.
 
+## RabbitMQ Tutorials
+
+Spring Boot versions of the [6 standard RabbitMQ tutorials](http://www.rabbitmq.com/getstarted.html) are provided in `rabbitmq-tutorials`.
+
+## Spring Boot Applications
+
+Several Spring Boot applications are also provided, with names `spring-rabbit-...`.
