Getting Started Guide Web Version

The getting started guide has been migrated from PDF to the web. This allows for quick navigation to specific sections of the document, the ability to quickly and easily direct viewers to links both within and outside the NETA website (such as to additional documentation, forums, the AMA, etc) and provides the ability to easily modify and update as changes require.
