    <p>The logback manual describes the logback API in considerable
    detail, including its features and design rationale. Authored by
    Ceki G&#252;lc&#252; and S&#233;bastien Pennec, the main
    contributors to the logback project, the logback manual is
    intended for developers already familiar with the Java language
    but new to logback, as much as for experienced logback users. With
    the aid of introductory material and many examples, new users
    should quickly come up to speed.
