About This Chapter
 
 
 

This chapter presents an overview of Flint and the structure of this guide. The Flint Basics section walks you through a simple session in Flint. This is followed by topics that correspond to the sections in this guide. Each section provides a brief description of its function, and links to the chapters that you will most likely refer to.

The non-linear nature of Flint is designed to accommodate the actual creative process. It is likely you will visit some sections a number of times, and not necessarily in the order presented.

NoteAll descriptions and procedures provided in this chapter assume that your workstation has been set up with factory default EditDesk settings.
