| This is the reference manual for Qi4j version {qi4j-version}, written by members of the Qi4j Community. |
| |
| The main parts of the manual are: |
| |
| * <<introduction>> -- introducing Composite Oriented Programming concepts and Qi4j. |
| * <<tutorials>> -- learn how to use Qi4j. |
| * <<core-api>> -- detailed information on how to use Qi4j. |
| * <<libraries>> -- detailed information on the many libraries available for Qi4j. |
| * <<extensions>> -- detailed information each of the Qi4j extensions, such as entity stores, |
| indexing, caching and runtime metrics. |
| |
| The material is practical, technical, and focused on answering specific questions. |
| It addresses how things work, what to do and what to avoid to successfully use Qi4j in domain rich applications. |
| |
| The goal is to be thumb-through and rule-of-thumb friendly. |
| |
| Each section should stand on its own, so you can hop right to whatever interests you. |
| When possible, the sections distill "rules of thumb" which you can keep in mind whenever you wander out of the house |
| without this manual in your back pocket. |
| |
| The included code examples are executed when Qi4j is built and tested. |
| |
| _Who should read this?_ |
| |
| The topics should be relevant to architects, model designers and developers. |
