About This Manual

This manual introduce Coreograph in stages. It begins with an introductory overview of the system as a whole, starting from a few simple examples, to a tour of the main elements of the system.

Next it introduces the key concepts of Coreograph: projects, circuits, nodes and the Coreograph dataflow model. It introduces the special and built-in nodes that provide key functionality, using examples that can be run interactively from the editor.

This much of the presentation is largely indepedent of cloud computing and AWS.

The manual then describes Coreograph’s support for Amazon Web Services (AWS). It introduces the nodes that represent resources and actions on AWS services. It then explains Coreograph’s detailed support for CloudFormation, the AWS facility for managing, deploying and updating the resources that collectively make up an application.

The manual links to examples throughout, like this: The Empty Collection Example. When you click on such a link, you will be taken to a new browser tab with the Coreograph editor loaded with the particular example.
