+Until I've written the documentation, the examples are the best way to learn Textual. Run any of the Python files in [examples](https://github.com/willmcgugan/textual/tree/main/examples) and read the code to see how it works.

 ## Building Textual applications

 To make more interesting apps you will need to make use of _widgets_, which are independent user interface elements. Textual comes with a (growing) library of widgets, but you can also develop your own.
 
-Let's look at an app which contains widgets. We will be using the built in `Placeholder` widget which you can use to design application layouts before you implement the real content. They are also very useful for testing.

 The dock layout feature is good enough for most purposes. For more sophisticated layouts we can use the grid API. See the [calculator.py](https://github.com/willmcgugan/textual/blob/main/examples/calculator.py) example which makes use of Grid.
