2. Create application delegate.

You should rewrite the on_load method, which will be runned after starting application. Note: you should always use AppDelegate class name.
```
class AppDelegate < Prime::BaseAppDelegate
  def on_load(app, options)
    open_screen MainScreen.new
  end
end
```

3. Create the main screen.

You should rewrite the render method, which will be runned after first opening screen.

class MainScreen < Prime::BaseScreen
  title 'Main screen'

  def render
    @main_section = MyProfileSection.new(screen: self, model: User.first)
    @main_section.render
  end
end

¶

4. Create your first section.

"Section" is something like helper, which contains "Elements".

Each element will be added to the parent screen when you run section.render
```
class MyProfileSection < Prime::BaseSection
  element :title, text: "Hello World"
  element :avatar, image: "images/avatar.png", type: :image
end
```
¶

5. Create your first stylesheet file.

Styles will be applied to each element in section. The simplest rule by default is: :section-name_:element-name.

E.g. if you have 'MyProfileSection' (the name for section by default will be - my_profile) and 'title' element, then you should use my_profile_title style name.
```
Prime::Styles.define do
  style :my_profile_title, width: 300, height: 20
end
```

Also, you can pass namespace to define method.

Prime::Styles.define :my_profile do
  style :title, width: 300, height: 20
end
