+# Quickstart
+
+## Initialization
+
+To use these templates files on your project just install the reference files using
+**git submodule** then use `config.cmake` file to configure your project specificities :
+
+```bash
+git submodule add https://gerrit.automotivelinux.org/gerrit/apps/app-templatesconf.d/app-templates conf.d/app-templates
+mkdir conf.d/cmake
+cp conf.d/app-templates/cmake/config.cmake.sample conf.d/cmake/config.cmake
+```
+
+Edit the copied config.cmake file to fit your needs.
+
+Now, create your top CMakeLists.txt file which include `config.cmake` file.
+
+An example is available in **app-templates** submodule that you can copy and
+use:
+
+```bash
+cp conf.d/app-templates/cmake/CMakeLists.txt CMakeLists.txt
+```
+
+## Create your CMake targets
+
+For each target part of your project, you need to use ***PROJECT_TARGET_ADD***
+to include this target to your project.
+
+Using it, make available the cmake variable ***TARGET_NAME*** until the next
+***PROJECT_TARGET_ADD*** is invoked with a new target name.
+
+So, typical usage defining a target is:
+
+```cmake
+PROJECT_TARGET_ADD(SuperExampleName) --> Adding target to your project
+
+add_executable/add_library(${TARGET_NAME}.... --> defining your target sources
+
+SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES(${TARGET_NAME} PROPERTIES.... --> fit target properties
+for macros usage
+
+INSTALL(TARGETS ${TARGET_NAME}....
+```
+
+## Targets PROPERTIES
+
+You should set properties on your targets that will be used to package your
+apps in a widget file that could be installed on an AGL system.
+
+Specify what is the type of your targets that you want to be included in the
+widget package with the property **LABELS**:
+
+Choose between:
+
+- **BINDING**: Shared library that be loaded by the AGL Application Framework
+- **BINDINGV2**: Shared library that be loaded by the AGL Application Framework.
+ This has to be accompagnied with a JSON file named like the *${OUTPUT_NAME}-apidef* of
+ the target that describe the API with OpenAPI syntax (e.g: *mybinding-apidef*).
+ Or you can choose the name by setting the *CACHE* cmake variable *OPENAPI_DEF*
+ (***CAUTION***: setting a CACHE variable is needed, or set a normal variable
+ with the *PARENT_SCOPE* option to make it visible for the parent scope
+ where the target is defined) JSON file will be used to generate header file
+ using `afb-genskel` tool.
+- **HTDOCS**: Root directory of a web app. This target has to build its
+ directory and puts its files in the ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/${TARGET_NAME}
+- **DATA**: Resources used by your application. This target has to build its
+ directory and puts its files in the ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/${TARGET_NAME}
+- **EXECUTABLE**: Entry point of your application executed by the AGL
+ Application Framework
+
+```cmake
+SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES(${TARGET_NAME}
+	PREFIX "afb-"
+	LABELS "BINDING"
+	OUTPUT_NAME "file_output_name")
+```
+
+> **TIP** you should use the prefix _afb-_ with your **BINDING* targets which
+> stand for **Application Framework Binding**.
