In getting started with Cocoon, one must learn not only a number of concepts, but a number of details as well. Read the Introduction and ensure that you understand concepts such as the sitemap, generators, transformers, serializers and actions. This guide will fill in the details, such as "So how do I turn this query into XML data".

If you are interested in developing real-world web-applications requiring form handling, authentication or even developing your own portal, have a look at the web application documentation.

Come back often...this guide is being updated regularly.

The actual user documentation is available from the side-panel.
