| Most "quick starts" only get you a few blocks from where you are. |
| From there, you are on your own. Yet, typically, you'd want to get to the next |
| city. This starter kit shall be as minimal as possible, yet packed as much |
| power as possible. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| So you are busy and always on the go. You do not wish to spend a lot of time |
| studying the library. You wish to be spared the details for later when you |
| need it. For now, all you need to do is to get up to speed as quickly as possible |
| and start using the library. If this is the case, this is the right place to |
| start. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| This section is by no means a thorough discourse of the library. For more information |
| on Phoenix, please take some time to read the rest of the Documentation. Yet, |
| if you just want to use the library quickly, now, this chapter will probably |
| suffice. Rather than taking you to the details of the library, we shall try |
| to provide you with annotated examples instead. Hopefully, this will get you |
| into high gear quickly. |

| Phoenix is built on function objects (functors). The functor is the main building |
| block. We compose functors to build more complex functors... to build more |
| complex functors... and so on. Almost everything is a functor. |

| We start with some core functions that are called <span class="bold"><strong>primitives</strong></span>. |
| You can think of primitives (such as values, references and arguments) as atoms. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Things start to get interesting when we start <span class="emphasis"><em>composing</em></span> |
| primitives to form <span class="bold"><strong>expressions</strong></span>. The expressions |
| can, in turn, be composed to form even more complex expressions. |
