Steven Guerin and myself will be presenting a NetLogo modeling tutorial. It will have two parts, one a self-paced wiki tutorial, the second a set of real world examples of modeling we've used professionally.

You should read the first page of the tutorial:

• NetLogo CSSS Self-Paced Tutorial

Using the material you read there, you should then (attempt!) to download, install, and look at the Model Library for NetLogo.
