+
+     <p>Happstack is a Haskell web framework. Happstack is designed so that developers can prototype quickly, deploy painlessly, scale massively, operate reliably, and change easily. Happstack is supported on GNU/Linux, OS X, FreeBSD, and Windows environments.</p>
+
+     <h2 class="label-yellow"><span class="package-name">happstack-server</span></h2>
+     <p>At the core of Happstack is <a href="http://hackage.haskell.org/package/happstack-server"><span class="package-name">happstack-server</span></a>. <span class="package-name">happstack-server</span> is a fast, lightweight, self-contained HTTP server with built-in HTML templating support using <a href="http://happstack.com/docs/crashcourse/Templates.html#helloblaze"><span class="package-name">blaze-html</span></a>. <span class="package-name">happstack-server</span> is database agnostic and can be used with any of your favorite database libraries from <a href="http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/hackage.html">hackage</a>. <span class="package-name">happstack-server</span> is extensively documented in <a href="http://happstack.com/docs/crashcourse/index.html">The Happstack Crashcourse</a>.</p>
+
+     <h2 class="label-yellow">Extensions</h2>
+     
+     <p>Happstack provides a wide range of extensions including:</p>
+     <dl>
+      <dt><span class="package-name">acid-state</span></dt>
+      <dd><a href="http://acid-state.seize.it/"><span class="package-name">acid-state</span></a> is a pure Haskell, in-memory, transactional ACID, noSQL database. <span class="package-name">acid-state</span> is a cleaner, faster, more robust rewrite of the classic <a href="http://happstack.com/docs/crashcourse/HappstackState.html#happstack_state"><span class="package-name">happstack-state</span></a> system.</dd>
+
+     <dt><span class="package-name">ixset</span></dt>
+      <dd><a href=""><span class="package-name">ixset</span></a> is a Set-like datatype with support multiple indexes. It is similar to a table in a traditional SQL database. <span class="package-name">ixset</span> is often used with the <a href="http://acid-state.seize.it/"><span class="package-name">acid-state</span></a> library.</dd>
+
+      <dt><span class="package-name">happstack-plugins</span></dt>
+        <dd><a href="http://hackage.haskell.org/package/happstack-plugins"><span class="package-name">happstack-plugins</span></a> provides on-the-fly recompilation and dynamic loading of code into running servers. This is especially useful for reloading compiled HTML templates (such as <span class="package-name">blaze-html</span>). Check out a demonstration <a href="http://happstack.blogspot.com/2010/10/recompile-your-haskell-based-templates.html">here</a>.</dd>
+      <dt><span class="package-name">jmacro</span></dt>
+       <dd><a href="http://hackage.haskell.org/package/jmacro"><span class="package-name">jmacro</span></a> is a Javascript templating library. It supports splicing Haskell values into Javascript, static syntax checking, hygienic naming, and more. Documentation on using it with Happstack can be found <a href="http://happstack.com/docs/crashcourse/Templates.html#jmacro">here</a>.</dd>
+
+      <dt><span class="package-name">happstack-hsp</span></dt>
+      <dd><span class="package-name">happstack-hsp</span> leverages the <span class="package-name">HSX</span> and <span class="package-name">HSP</span> libraries to provide powerful XML and HTML templates. <span class="package-name">HSX</span> allows literal XML markup to be embedded in Haskell code. This means that you have the full power of Haskell at your disposal in your templates, not some weak, limited templating language.</dd>
+
+     <dt><span class="package-name">happstack-heist</span></dt>
+     <dd><a href="http://hackage.haskell.org/package/happstack-heist"><span class="package-name">happstack-heist</span></a> brings the power of <a rel="nofollow" href="http://snapframework.com/docs/tutorials/heist"><span class="package-name">heist</span> templates</a> to Happstack. <span class="package-name">heist</span> aims to keep the presentation and business logic well separated. Additionally, because it uses external <kbd>.xml</kbd> files for the templates, they can be easily edited by non-programmers, and modifications do not require the server to be recompiled or restarted. Use with Happstack is documented <a href="http://happstack.com/docs/crashcourse/Templates.html#helloheist">here</a>.</dd>
+
+     <dt><span class="package-name">happstack-hamlet</span></dt>
+      <dd><a href="http://hackage.haskell.org/package/happstack-hamlet"><span class="package-name">happstack-hamlet</span></a> brings <a href="http://www.yesodweb.com/book/templates/conceptId_________" rel="nofollow"><span class="package-name">hamlet</span></a> templates to Happstack.</dd>
+
+     <dt><span class="package-name">happstack-hstringtemplate</span></dt>
+      <dd><a href="http://hackage.haskell.org/package/happstack-hstringtemplate"><span class="package-name">happstack-hstringtemplate</span></a> allows the use of templates which are similar to the Java <a href="http://www.stringtemplate.org/" rel="nofollow">StringTemplate</a> engine.</dd>
+
+     <dt><span class="package-name">web-routes</span></dt>
+      <dd><span class="package-name">web-routes</span> is a family of libraries which provide type-safe URL routing. URLs can be mapped to types and back via a number of methods including invertible-syntax descriptions, parsec, template-haskell, quasi-quotation, and more. Documenation can be found <a href="http://happstack.com/docs/crashcourse/WebRoutes.html#web-routes">here</a>.</dd>
+
+     <dt><span class="package-name">happstack-authenticate</span></dt>
+      <dd><a href="http://src.seereason.com/happstack-authenticate/"><span class="package-name">happstack-authenticate</span></a> is a high-level authentication library for Happstack built on top of the <a href="http://hackage.haskell.org/package/authenticate"><span class="package-name">authenticate</span></a> library. It provides support for authentication via OpenId, Facebook, or a username/password. It includes support for multiple authentication methods per account, as well as multiple personalities per account. It includes themeable templates that can easily be integrated into your site.</dd>

+     <h2 class="label-yellow">Getting Started</h2>
+     <p>The fastest way to get started is to install happstack from hackage using cabal.</p>
+     <div class="code">
+      <code>
+       $ export PATH=~/.cabal/bin:$PATH<br />
+       $ cabal update<br />
+       $ cabal install happstack-server
+      </code>
+     </div>
+
+     <h2 class="label-yellow">Simple App</h2>
+     <p>Here is a simple app to test out your installation. The application will run on port 8000 by default. If you are reading this website on the same machine you are running the app on, just <a href="http://localhost:8000/">click here</a> to see it.</p>
