High level information about important Swarm concepts

Making a good App demands some understanding about how Swarm works under the hood.

We’re developing this section to provide a deep end for Authors - people interested in building Swarm Apps - and very curious / detail-oriented Users (we’re looking at you, Thornton Tomasetti Engineers) who want to know more about how Swarm works, and how to utilize the full breadth of its abilities.

Authors have to know how authoring application data types map to Swarm Inputs and Outputs, how Grasshopper works in our Cloud Compute Environment, and how to use Attributes to leverage geometry metadata.
