Core Topics are essential aspects of Silica. Whilst you certainly don't need to understand them all you should make yourself familiar with the ones which you think you might need.
This is probably the most important topic on this page. If you're going to do anything with Silica, especially if you want to release your code or contribute to other Silica projects maintaining a consistent code style is essential.

Animations are an important and attractive aspect of Silica – and they're fairly easy to use too.
These series contain topics which are more complex and are split in to sub-topics.

Silica has a powerful graphics engine behind it which can be used for a large variety of purposes.
It is recommended to complete the Creating a Custom View and Customising Your View's Appearance topics before you begin.
This is a very complex and detailed topic. It's almost certainly unnecessary to read unless you are wanting to contribute to Silica.
