Readers who want a quicker introduction to the platform may prefer to jump directly to the final section, which walks through the implementation of a simple but practical sample application called Stock Tracker. Stock Tracker demonstrates a number of key features used by many "real world" applications, including UI markup, event handling, web queries, data binding, and localization, among others. An in-depth introduction to WTKX, Pivot's UI markup language, is provided in the WTKX Primer section.
