In this chapter you will see how to use the feedforward multilayer neural network. This neural network architecture has become the mainstay of modern neural network programming. In this chapter you will be shown two ways that you can implement such a neural network.

We will begin by examining an open source neural network engine called JOONE. JOONE can be downloaded from http://www.jooneworld.com. JOONE contains a neural network editor that allows you to quickly model and test neural networks. We will use this editor to introduce the concept of how a multilayer network fits together.
