The following steps are required for displaying the sentence 'Hello World' with Dali:
-- initialize the Dali library
+- initialize the DALi library
- create an Actor showing text
- add it to the Stage

Let's take a look at the code for this test application.
There are a couple of steps which are very important to understand.
- <h2 class="pg"> Initializing Dali </h2>
- The application should not use the Dali library until it has sent the init complete signal!
+ <h2 class="pg"> Initializing DALi </h2>
+ The application should not use the DALi library until it has sent the init complete signal!
That's why we connect our ExampleApp::Create callback to Dali::Application's SignalInit signal:
\code

<h2 class="pg"> Reference counting </h2>
The application should store Actors' and resources' handles.
- Dali objects are reference counted, which makes sure they exist only as long as they are needed.
+ DALi objects are reference counted, which makes sure they exist only as long as they are needed.
That's why we store the Actor's handle:
