3. Read, understand and play with the basic real time pose demo source code examples/openpose/openpose.cpp and examples/tutorial_api_cpp. It includes all the functionality of our library, and it has been properly commented.
4. Read, understand and play with the other tutorials in examples/. It includes more specific examples.
5. Check the basic UML diagram on the doc/advanced/library_structure/UML to get an idea of each module relations.
6. Take a look to the stucuture of the already existing modules.
7. The C++ headers files add documentation in Doxygen format. Create this documentation by compiling the include folder with Doxygen. This documentation is slowly but continuously improved.
