Anyone tried ST Nucleo boards?

Hi Roger
I am very interested in your work, I follow you including on the new site. (http://stm32duino.com).
I think STM32 is a very good micro, I test Mbed and nucleo board but I am interesting by Nano like form factor.

Unfortunately I am a retiree of analog electronics (40 years of R & D) and if I can very easily explain how to get good measurements with LM35 after 50 m cable I have difficulties to implement your work .

So if you could explain how to program a STM32 starting from zero with pictures and text it would be great.
Because it is often the basic operations that seems obvious to the specialist who cause the greatest difficulties to beginners.
Generally, once we were able to achieve a little something, all unlock.

Thanks
