 peak.naming:: NamingSystem
== Getting Started ==
 
 peak.running:: RuntimeEnvironment
When beginning to learn PEAK, the best order in which to explore the modules is: ["binding"], ["config"], and ["naming"]. These core modules provide the component-oriented framework upon which most other PEAK modules are built, and they will be used extensively within any application built with PEAK.
 
 peak.storage:: StorageSystem
The next layer to explore should probably be the runtime modules: ["running"], ["commands"], and ["logs"]. Combined with the previous core modules, the runtime modules provide most of the machinery needed for building PEAK applications.
 
MiscNotes
The ["storage"] module provides numerous storage management features, including high level relational database connectivity, a general transaction framework with ACID assurance and two-phase commit, and a DataManager framework for high level object persistence to multiple storage media.
 
= Latest CHANGES/README/TODO from CVS =
[http://cvs.eby-sarna.com/*checkout*/PEAK/CHANGES.txt?rev=HEAD CHANGES.txt]
The ["model"] module provides a framework for implementing the DomainModel pattern, which is based on high level "business objects" isolated from storage concerns.
 
[http://cvs.eby-sarna.com/*checkout*/PEAK/README.txt?rev=HEAD README.txt]
The ["events"] module provides an "event-driven" programming framework that supports ultralight "microthreads" implemented via generators. It can stand alone or can be used atop Twisted for a more intuitive approach to asynchronous programming.
 
[http://cvs.eby-sarna.com/*checkout*/PEAK/TODO.txt?rev=HEAD TODO.txt]
Further modules to explore include the ["util"], ["metamodels"], and ["security"] modules. The ["web"], ["net"], and ["query"] modules are under development.

PeakDatabaseApplications
== Tutorials ==
 
CookBook
 
  * TwistedPeak Example
The IntroToPeak tutorial is currently the best way to get started with PEAK. It demonstrates the use of many of PEAK's features by building a small application step-by-step.
 
Other tutorials include:
 * PeakDatabaseApplications
 * ComposingHierarchies
 * TwistedPeak example
  * Using ZopePageTemplates with peak.web
 * PeakFromBasics - a new tutorial (currently barely started!) which will develop an application from scratch
 * PeakWebHowTo - introduction to {{{peak.web}}} functionality
 
  * ComposingHierarchies using the PEAK framework
== Concepts ==
 
PeakForTheImpatient (lranen)
 * WritingInterfaces
 * WritingComponents
 * WritingAdaptors
