In Chapter 1 we saw examples of Elm applications and also had a glimpse into what can be achieved with the Elm platform. Those applications either used Elm on its own or integrated Elm with JavaScript libraries and frameworks.
Our goal is to develop applications like the ones featured in this book. Before we can enjoy the fun of doing this, we first have to invest some time in learning the basics of the Elm platform. This book gives a comprehensive introduction to the Elm platform on which you can base the implementation of your first Elm applications.
