These web pages teach you how to get started writing Habanero applications.

To write Habanero hablets, you need to know the Java [Outside link] programming language. If you are unfamiliar with Java, please read the Java Tutorial first. If you have not yet installed Habanero on your machine, download and install it. Play around with it to get used to its GUI. (See the Habanero User's guide. )

These pages are designed so that you can flip from one to another as you learn Habanero. However, most people will probably want to start with the Quick Start Example.

After that, I suggest you work through all the basic topics with the running example.

If you have trouble getting your hablet to run correctly, see if you made a common error.

Each pattern usually has these sections:

The orienting question: Tells you when you want to use this pattern.
Background Information: Explains information you need to know before using this pattern.
How does this work?: Explains how to use the information in this pattern.
What next?: Provides suggested web pages to read next. (This part is not always present.)
