Getting Started

The Getting Started part of the documentation is meant to get you up an running, Installation was already covered in the Overview and will be skipped in this part. Here you can find how you get the SlaxWeb Framework into the web, and create your first simple application with it.

The application we will build in this guide will be a simple news application, where we will have 2 pages, one for displaying of said news, and one for creating and editing, we will also create a third page, which will just be a static page. It is advised that you go through this guide to get a feeling how applications are written with the SlaxWeb Framework.
