Abstract: Abstract In this chapter our main aim is to introduce you to the Modgen software and to the Visual Studio programming software, guiding you through the creation of a first basic model. This model will be based on one single type of event: death. Although this will yield only a small number of results, such as life expectancy at birth, it will allow us to demonstrate and to practise the use of several of the basic ideas in Modgen. We will move on to the calculation and presentation of other elements of the life table in the next chapter.
