## FAQ

### What is an Framework?

A framework provides a method of building software applications. Easy Dev is a framework
for WordPress plugin development. Developers can use our simple framework instead
of learning how to interface directly with WordPress. Easy Dev’s framework does 
all the hard work for you behind the scenes.

### How do I use the framework? Where do I begin?

In our [documentation](https://lab.letaprodoit.com/public/wiki/wordpress-ed:MainPage),
we have included real plugin examples that are using Easy Dev. Our [complete framework](https://lab.letaprodoit.com/docs/tsp-easy-dev/)
is also available.

### I’ve installed the plugin but nothing happens. What did I do wrong?

Nothing. The plugin runs in real-time behind the scenes. Once installed, there are
no other steps to take. You use our plugin to build your own plugins.
