<section name="Getting Started">
<p>
It's easy to get started with Velocity. The best places to start are
<ul>
<li>
The <a href="user-guide.html">User's Guide</a>, which provides a good
overview of what Velocity templates are all about.
</li>
<li>
The <a href="developer-guide.html">Developer's Guide</a>, which provides
a good reference and discussion of incorporating Velocity into your Java
programs and servlets.
</li>
<li>
The <a href="vtl-reference-guide.html">VTL Reference Guide</a>, which is a reference
guide for VTL, the Velocity Template Language.
</li>
<li>
The <a href="design.html">Design</a> document, which provides a high-level overview
of the how Velocity works, and why it's important.
</li>
</ul>
And of course, the best place to start is with the examples provided with the distribution,
and the source code itself, which is included.
</p>
<p>
Instructions for downloading and installing Velocity can be found on the
<a href="install.html">Install</a> document.
</p>
</section>
<section name="API Documentation">
<p>
Our API documentation is available <a href="api/index.html">online</a>,
as part of the distribution package, and of course, you can generate it
yourself from the included sources.
</p>
<p>
If you would like to create a full set
of detailed API documentation for Velocity, go to the
<code>build</code> directory and run:
</p>
<source><![CDATA[
ant javadocs
]]></source>
<p>
The docs will be found in the <code>/docs/apidocs/</code> directory.
</p>
<p>
<b>Note:</b> Velocity uses the <a href="http://jakarta.apache.org/ant/">Jakarta Ant</a>
build tool for all code and documentation generation, so you will need to have it
installed. We strongly endorse this wonderful tool for any Java developer.
