-=head1 NAME
-
-Reaction::Manual::FAQ
-
-=head2 INTRODUCTION
-
-=head3 What is Reaction?
-
-Reaction is an MVCish framework that is designed with two goals in mind:
-"don't repeat yourself" and "components rule."
-
-=head3 How is it different from other MVC frameworks?
-
-Reaction is more flexible and abstract. Web development is only a specialized
-set of what Reaction is designed to provide - the inner classes are general
-enough to be used in many different environments and for solving non-web
-problems.
-
-It is planned to go a lot further than just the web - we want to develop GUIs
-and CLIs as easily and painlessly as possible, using Reaction. How about
-writing your web application and instantly getting a CLI to go with it? That's
-only part of the flexibility we have in mind.
-
-=head3 How is it different from Catalyst?
-
-Catalyst is MVC-based whereas Reaction splits the Model into 2 parts: The
-"Domain Model" and the "Interface Model." Web development is only a sample of
-what Reaction can do - but it already comes bundled with the basic components
-that you would have to program in Catalyst. At the moment, Reaction runs on
-Catalyst for web development.
-
-=head3 What's a Domain?
-
-A domain is the field where an abstraction makes sense. For example, to build
-a web site a programmer may come up with an abstraction of a User, Products,
-User roles, etc. These concepts are just one particular implementation of all
-the possible abstractions for that web site -- the set of all these possible
-abstractions make up the Domain.
-
-=head3 What's a Domain Model?
-
-A Domain Model is an actual computational model of an abstraction. In most
-cases these models are business-based, as in the set of objects that make up
-the representation for a particular domain, such as Users, Products, User
-Roles, etc.
-
-=head3 What's an Interface Model?
-
-A well defined model for the common operations involved in a particular mode
-of interaction with the domain. In other words, it's a layer around the Domain
-Model that provides interaction with it. One example would be an authorization
-procedure for different views of the same data, based on user's credentials.
-
-=head3 I'm lost! What does "Model" mean?
-
-The term "model" can mean two things: "model as in Computer Model" and "Model
-as in MVC". For this document, the former will be written as just "Model"
-whereas the latter will be referred to as "Model as in MVC."
-
-=head3 Haven't I seen these definitions elsewhere?
-Yes, similar terms have been used in Java-land and Smalltalk-ville. Note that
-for the sake of simplicity we are not giving rigorous (and more complex)
-definitions.
-
-=head3 What's a View?
-
-=head3 What's a Viewport?
-
-ListView and ActionForm are subclasses of ViewPort.
-
-=head3 What's a Focus Stack?
-
-=head3 What are Tangents?
-
-=head3 Can I have a pony?
