Erste Schritte


Explanation:
common translation for a Getting Started manual

Referenzhandbuch

I'm still thinking about examaples

It also depends if you want the \"manual\" bit in the translation.

Beispielhandbuch seems common too:

see:
Neben der ROBOFIL 100- und 1000-Serie nun auch die F-Serie mit FANUC-Steuerung. (Neues Beispielhandbuch zum Selbstraining)
http://www.leigmbh.de/d/software/produkte.htm

or do a Google search for \"Beispielhandbuch\"

agree  Christian Werner-Meier: Erste Schritte ist schön für einen Titel, aber ein Referenzhandbuch ist es nicht, eher eine Einweisung.
27 mins
  -> I think you misunderstood, cosker asked for 3 manual titles, the second one being "reference manual" which can be "Referenzhandbuch" in DE
agree  Ulrike Lieder (X): Erste Schritte is commonly used (cf. the Microsoft glossaries). I've also seen it used by other software companies.
