+<title>Introduction</title>
+
+    <para>
+        Welcome to the Yocto Project Application Developer's Guide.
+        This manual provides information that lets you begin developing applications
+        using the Yocto Project.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+        The Yocto Project provides an application development environment based on
+        an Application Development Toolkit (ADT) and the availability of stand-alone
+        cross-development toolchains and other tools.
+        This manual describes the ADT and how you can configure and install it,
+        how to access and use the cross-development toolchains, how to
+        customize the development packages installation,
+        how to use command-line development for both Autotools-based and
+        Makefile-based projects, and an introduction to the
+        <trademark class='trade'>Eclipse</trademark> IDE Yocto Plug-in.
+        <note>
+            The ADT is distribution-neutral and does not require the Yocto
+            Project reference distribution, which is called Poky.
+            This manual, however, uses examples that use the Poky distribution.
