+Introduction
+************
+
+Welcome to the Yocto Project Application Developer's Guide. This manual
+provides information that lets you begin developing applications using
+the Yocto Project.
+
+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 Eclipse 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.
