Guide to Programming with the Presentation Framework

This tutorial provides an overview of the design and development process for a basic CommonPoint application by walking through the creation of a simple program step-by-step. This tutorial does not assume that you have ever programmed using the CommonPoint application system, however, you will benefit from some familiarity with the CommonPoint programming model and the overall architecture of the CommonPoint application system, described in the book Introduction to the CommonPoint Application System. This tutorial does not provide specific information on using the development tools provided with the CommonPoint application system.

You can use this tutorial in conjunction with an online exploration of the code for the tutorial program Tiles. The code is listed inline within this document, and is available online, as described in "Accessing the code online" on page 2. You can compile the code in the online directories and run the application to see the human interface features implemented by the Presentation framework.
