<title>Introduction</title>
<para>
- With the decision to re-write Enlightenment for DR17, came the decision to build
- a support infrastructure that could support Enlightenment well into the future
- and other projects needing a solid base of libraries. This formed the basis
- of the Enlightenment Foundation Libraries (EFL).
+Welcome to the enlightened state of programming. This cookbook is a collection of
tips, tricks, tutorials and introductions arranged into recipe style in order to help
you becomes quickly proficience and effective with the Enlightenment Foundation
Libraries. The Enlightement Foundations Libraries, refered to simples as the EFL, is
a collection of libraries origionally written support the Enlightenment DR17 Window
Manager. However, as these libraries grew and were tested and deployed more and more
general functionality was added bringing us to enjoy a rich and powerful set of
libraries that can solve all sorts of problems and also act as a venerable alternative
to the currently popular GTK and QT.
</para>
<para>
- The EFL has grown to encompass many of the features required by the window manager
development
- and many of the applications that will be run on top of that WM. There are currently
- libraries to handle transparency, configuration, video, core event loops, and
interface
- abstraction.
- </para>

- <para>
- This book is an attempt to be your road map through this foundation.

+The EFL is a comprehensive group of C libraries that can provide for nearly any type
of graphical need on nearly any platform. The following is a consice breakdown of EFL
