+\section1 Introduction
+
+Qt Quick is a collection of technologies that are designed to help
+developers create the kind of intuitive, modern-looking, fluid user
+interfaces that are increasingly used on mobile phones, media players,
+set-top boxes and other portable devices.
+
+Qt Quick consists of a rich set of user interface elements, a declarative
+language for describing user interfaces and a language runtime. A collection
+of C++ APIs is used to integrate these high level features with classic
+Qt applications.
+
+\section2 QML, Elements and the QtDeclarative Module
+
+User interfaces and their behavior are described using QML, an extension to
+\l{About JavaScript}{JavaScript} that lets developers and designers
+use a declarative syntax to specify each user interface in terms of
+\l{QML Elements}{QML elements}. These elements are a sophisticated set of
+graphical and behavioral building blocks that can be combined together in
+\l{QML Documents}{QML documents} to build components ranging in complexity
+from simple buttons and sliders, to complete Internet-enabled applications.
+
+QML improves the integration between JavaScript and Qt's existing
+QObject-based type system, adds support for automatic
+\l{Property Binding}{property bindings} and provides
\l{Network Transparency}{network transparency} at the language level.
-The \l{QML Elements}{QML elements} are a sophisticated set of
-graphical and behavioral building blocks. These different elements
-are combined together in \l{QML Documents}{QML documents} to build
-components ranging in complexity from simple buttons and sliders, to
-complete Internet-enabled applications like a photo browser for the
-popular \l{http://www.flickr.com}{Flickr} photo-sharing site.
+The QtDeclarative module implements the interface between the QML language
+and the elements available to it. It also provides a C++ API that can be
+used to load and interact with QML files from within Qt applications.
Qt Quick builds on \l{QML for Qt programmers}{Qt's existing strengths}.
