<title>Welcome</title>
<para>
Welcome to the Yocto Project Development Tasks Manual!
This manual provides relevant procedures necessary for developing
in the Yocto Project environment (i.e. developing embedded Linux
images and user-space applications that run on targeted devices).
The manual groups related procedures into higher-level sections.
Procedures can consist of high-level steps or low-level steps
depending on the topic.
</para>
<para>
This manual provides the following:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para>
Procedures that help you get going with the Yocto Project.
For example, procedures that show you how to set up
a build host and work with the Yocto Project
source repositories.
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>
Procedures that show you how to submit changes to the
Yocto Project.
Changes can be improvements, new features, or bug
fixes.
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>
Procedures related to "everyday" tasks you perform while
developing images and applications using the Yocto
Project.
For example, procedures to create a layer, customize an
image, write a new recipe, and so forth.
</para></listitem>

<para>
This manual does not provide the following:

<listitem><para>
Redundant Step-by-step Instructions:
For example, the
<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_SDK_URL;'>Yocto Project Application Development and the Extensible Software Development Kit (eSDK)</ulink>
manual contains detailed instructions on how to install an
SDK, which is used to develop applications for target
hardware.
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>
Reference or Conceptual Material:
This type of material resides in an appropriate reference
manual.
For example, system variables are documented in the
<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;'>Yocto Project Reference Manual</ulink>.
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>
Detailed Public Information Not Specific to the
Yocto Project:
For example, exhaustive information on how to use the
Source Control Manager Git is better covered with Internet
searches and official Git Documentation than through the
Yocto Project documentation.

<title>Other Information</title>
<para>
Because this manual presents information for many different
topics, supplemental information is recommended for full
comprehension.
For introductory information on the Yocto Project, see the
<ulink url='&YOCTO_HOME_URL;'>Yocto Project Website</ulink>.
If you want to build an image with no knowledge of Yocto Project
as a way of quickly testing it out, see the
<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_BRIEF_URL;'>Yocto Project Quick Build</ulink>
document.
</para>
<para>
For a comprehensive list of links and other documentation, see the
"<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#resources-links-and-related-documentation'>Links and Related Documentation</ulink>"
section in the Yocto Project Reference Manual.
