If you need to provide your users a quick intro to your app or new features that you have just released, you might want to give Anno.js a try. Of the several frameworks I sampled, this is was the sharpest looking and easiest to work with (for me, maybe for you too).
To configure:
1). Link to or host the required files in the DemoAnno.html <head> (see code on GitHub).
2). Configure the annoJS object by setting targets (by element selector, '#demo', '.walkDivs', etc.)
3). Create a button and set its onClick() == anno.show(); //anno, or the name of the annoJS object
And in 3 simple steps, you have a walkthrough:

Note the NextButton and BackButton- these are very useful for app walkthroughs
