Introduction to Cytoscape App Development
Overview
This step is designed to introduce you to Cytoscape App Development concepts and technology, and to write a series of tutorial apps. This is a BIG step!
Process
We have prepared a series of slides that walkthrough all you need to know to write and fully understand the inner workings of some basic Cytoscape apps. If you've followed the Ladder up to this point, you can skip ahead to slide 13 which begins with the concepts behind the first tutorial app you'll be writing, Step 1. Proceed to learn additional concepts and the implement them in each of Steps 2-6, incrementally making a more and more complex app. The slides conclude with an API Tour and some final tips. These are the same slides we use in our live app development training workshops!
