Leo : Basics   What is Leo - Continued  

A note for programmers: this tutorial, in addition to being an illustration of more file derivation operations, is an introduction to how Leo can facilitate a new kind of Literate Programming . Rather than further clarify what this means now, we'll just show an example. More information about Literate Programming is available in the documentation that comes with Leo. But keep in mind that the problem to be solved by literate programming is to provide an easy-to-understand road map to a complex programming project. Using Leo, you plan your code, explain it, and write it all in the same document. You use English, not a new language like UML, and you can explain and describe all levels of structure in as many ways as you want - not just classes and methods.
