The Avalon framework consists of interfaces
that define relationships between commonly used application components,
best-of-practice pattern enforcements, and several
lightweight convenience implementations of the generic components.
</p>
<p align="justify">
What that means is that we define the central interface <code>Component</code>.
We also define the relationship (contract) a component has with peers,
ancestors and children. This documentation introduces you to those patterns,
interfaces and relationships.

The following documents provide basic theoretical concepts that are applied
through-out Avalon's framework. It would be good for a prospective developer to
be at least passingly familiar with the concepts outlined in this document.
The documentation also provides links to outside sources which can be consulted
for further information.
