+ "docs.dev.framework",
+ "docs.dev.api",
+ "docs.dev.modules",

+ ]
+ }

+### What is ERPNext?
-To starting hacking into ERPNext, you must have some understanding of how a dynamic web application works. There are hundreds of architectures and frameworks to make web development easier, but at the core there are a few elements that are important to understand.
+ERPNext is an information system that links together entire organization's operations. It is a software package that offers convenience of managing all the business functions from a single platform. No need of going to different applications to process different requests. No need of saving data in different functional packages. Under one ERP "roof" you can manage Accounting, Warehouse Management, CRM, Human Resources, Supply Chain Management, Sales Management, and Website Design.
-ERPNext is built on `wnframework` which is primarily developed for ERPNext but can be extended to make similar database driven applications. wnframework uses Python on the server-side and has a javascript based client for entering data, managing workflow and making reports.
