\chapter{ADEW: The Andrew Development Environment Workbench}


\section{What is ADEW?

}\leftindent{
The Andrew Development Environment Workbench (ADEW) is a user interface 
management system that simplifies the creation of Andrew Toolkit ( \italic{ATK} 
) applications.  It consists of numerous parts, notably:


\bold{Arbcon, }an editing tool that sits in a separate window to aid in the 
creation and editing of groups of insets.


\bold{Value insets}, which are a set of buttons, switches and string entry 
objects for user interaction.


\bold{The Lset inset}, an inset desinged to lay out embedded insets in a tiled 
fashion.


\bold{Createcon}, a program that takes a group of insets and writes a 
controller object for them that makes it easy for programmers to define how 
the insets should interaction for a specific application.

}
\section{What can ADEW do?}\leftindent{


ADEW can be used for rapid prototyping allowing non-programmers and 
programmers alike to design applications.  Anyone interested in developing ATK 
applications might well find ADEW a good starting place and a useful tool for 
creating demo and test applications. 


Some examples of applications which have been created using ADEW are:


\leftindent{a calculator

a simple Help program, 

a piano \italic{\helptopic{inset}} that can be sent through the mail, and can 
play back an enclosed tune.}


}\section{Learning more about ADEW}

\leftindent{
There are three documents in /usr/andrew/doc/adew which will assist you in 
learning about ADEW.  They are:


Overview.d

Tutorial.d

RefMan.d


The Tutorial is a good place to start if you are interested in learning and 
actually creating a sample program.
