How do I transfer all my data and applications to my new iPad from my old one ?

This may also be useful.  Although backing up and restoring via iCloud works, doing it via iTunes may be better, and here's why:
Via iCloud your actual apps are not backed up, just a record of the fact that you legally own them.  When you restore, your new device knows it's OK to download and install them again from the App Store.  This is fine for all apps that are still available, but for those that have been removed from the App Store you're going to be without them.
It is also a lot faster to transfer a ton of apps from iTunes via the cable than to download them all over wifi.
Another advantage of doing it via iTunes is that all your network/wifi settings and passwords will be included in the backup/restore process.  (Make sure you have selected "encrypted backup" for this to happen.)  This way you will not need to mess around typing them all in again.
I've tried both methods and would definitely recommend going "old school" via iTunes for these reasons.  Hope this helps.
