NTK Project Files

There are five different types of files that you might have in your NTK projects: Layout files, Proto files, Resource files, Book files, and Text files (see TABLE A.1). Later in this appendix, we will discuss the three types of project files that you create within NTK--Layout, Proto, and Text files.
