Documentation
The wiki is organized into several major sections, with links to the various subtopics. The main sections of the wiki are:
- Getting Started -- introductory manual
- Concepts -- brief overview of key concepts (especially relative to PDP++)
- User Guide -- comprehensive reference information on each software element
- Tutorials -- detailed step-by-step examples
- Demos -- overview of demo projects
- Tips and Tricks -- quick "top 10" overviews of major operations
- HowTos -- an alphabetical list of brief recipes on all manner of things
- Network Algorithm Guide -- detailed information about each of the network algorithms
- ChangeLog -- changes and updating information for the current release -- always look here if you are updating your version of the program!
- Emergent Reference -- reference information, such as command-line options, CSS scripting language, list of programming elements, and more
If you haven't installed Emergent yet, see the Installation Guide.
Start with Getting Started for a quick introduction to the Emergent application, including a tutorial on building a simple network simulation.
You can use the Tutorials section to help you with specific tasks, and the AX Tutorial provides an excellent overall introduction.
The User Guide provides detailed information on all the major elements used in building Emergent simulations. You may wish to use one of the demo programs that come with Emergent to help you understand how these objects are used in actual simulations.
The Network Algorithm Guide provides detailed theory and instructions on the specific network algorithms that can be used to build simulations.
The Emergent Reference has information on the internal and technical aspects of Emergent, including information required for advanced script programming, and extending Emergent.
CECN Projects
The textbook Computational Explorations in Cognitive Neuroscience (O'Reilly and Munakata) has a companion web site with projects that have been translated into Emergent projects. They have detailed built-in documentation, and are a great way to learn CCN and Emergent!
