Architecture of TcOpen

1. TcoCore

Getting started

1. Get started using TcOpen libraries

2. Get started using TcOpen libraries with Inxton

3. How to write a sequence

4. TcOpen101 YouTube channel

Features

• main is released to production (x = implemented)
• dev is in current development branch (x = implemented)
• IVF feature requires inxton vortex framework to operate (x = implemented)
• WPF feature has an UI control for WPF platform (requires IVF) (x = implemented)
• Blazor feature has an UI control for Blazor platform (requires IVF) (x = implemented)
