<title>Introduction</title>
<para>
Welcome to the Yocto Project Application Developer's Guide.
This manual provides information that lets you begin developing applications
using the Yocto Project.
</para>
<para>
The Yocto Project provides an application development environment based on
an Application Development Toolkit (ADT) and the availability of stand-alone
cross-development toolchains and other tools.
This manual describes the ADT and how you can configure and install it,
how to access and use the cross-development toolchains, how to
customize the development packages installation,
how to use command-line development for both Autotools-based and
Makefile-based projects, and an introduction to the
<trademark class='trade'>Eclipse</trademark> IDE Yocto Plug-in.
<note>
The ADT is distribution-neutral and does not require the Yocto
Project reference distribution, which is called Poky.
This manual, however, uses examples that use the Poky distribution.
