This document provides instructions for a workshop that demonstrates capabilities of the OpenWhisk platform deployed on IBM Bluemix. It shows how to create actions (functions) that execute in response to triggers (events) and integrate them using rules. Attendees will log into Bluemix, use the OpenWhisk dashboard to develop and monitor actions, and the command line to create an alarm-triggered action that runs every 20 seconds. The document encourages continuing to build on the application by creating new actions, triggers and rules.
