Getting Started
===============
It's easy to get started with Enaml. If you are comfortable programming in
Python, you should find yourself quickly up to speed. The sections below
provide the information you need to start writing simple Enaml applications.
When you are comfortable with the topics here, have a look at the
:ref:`dev_guides` for in-depth articles about developing with the framework.
.. This simply prevents the :doc: to create entries in the sidebar
.. container::
.. rubric:: :doc:`introduction`
The introduction to Enaml explains the motivations behind the project
and what it seeks to achieve in the context of the larger Python
ecosystem. It presents the challenges inherent to UI development and
how the declarative programming model is used to address them.
.. rubric:: :doc:`installation`
The installation instructions present the steps needed to install
Enaml and its dependencies.
.. rubric:: :doc:`anatomy`
The building blocks of an Enaml application are presented in the
form of a runnable example. The example shows how the various
syntactic constructs and framework components combine to create a
simple user interface application.
.. rubric:: :doc:`syntax`
Enaml defines a superset of Python that allows to define the UI in a
declarative way. One of the great features of Enaml is its ability to
automatically bind to data models through a rich set of operators. This
section describes the Enaml specific part of the syntax and how those
operators are used to connect user defined data models to Enaml views
and how they automatically keep the views up-to-date when the data in
the models change at runtime.
.. rubric:: :doc:`layout`
The layout systems of typical user interface frameworks can quickly
become tedious for all but the simplest of cases. Enaml sheds the
status quo and provides a flexible layout system which uses symbolic
constraints. This section covers the basics of constraints layout.
