Documentation: What is Piklist?

At it’s very basic level, Piklist is a rapid development framework for WordPress. When using Piklist to build your WordPress themes or plugins, you will be able to build more powerful, flexible websites with less code.  Think jQuery-for-Javascript, or Rails-for-Ruby.  Now there is Piklist-for-WordPress. Just install Piklist as you would a normal WordPress plugin, and then start writing code in your theme or plugin. Our library of docs should help you get started and provide a quick reference. Check out our “Built for Developers” feature list to see how Piklist can make your job easier.
