Preface

Running examples in this manual

Naturally, when developing your own DUIM applications, you create, edit, and compile files of source code, and organize them as projects based on Dylan libraries and modules, just as you would when developing Dylan code that uses any other library. When developing your application, you can also take advantage of the development environment to make this process smoother, and to execute sections of code using the interactor. Many of the examples in this manual can be run directly from the interactor. Furthermore, this manual assumes that you are reasonably familiar with the development environment provided by Functional Developer. If you are not, please refer to the Getting Started with Functional Developer manual.

When developing your own projects using the New Project wizard, new modules that use the DUIM library, and any other relevant libraries are created for you. You may also like to use the Dylan Playground to experiment safely with your development code while keeping your project-specific modules clean. You can open the Dylan Playground by choosing Tools > Open Playground from the Dylan the main window.

The full source code for both versions of the application is provided as part of the Functional Developer installation. To load them into the environment, choose Tools > Open Example Project and look in the Documentation category, at the examples labeled Task List.
