+      <p>
+      querydsl is a framework which enables the construction of statically typed SQL-like queries. 
+      Instead of writing queries as inline strings or externalizing them into XML files they can be constructed via a 
+      <a href="http://www.martinfowler.com/bliki/FluentInterface.html">fluent</a> API.
+      </p>
+      
+      <p>
+      The benefits of using a fluent API in comparison to simple strings are 
+      <ul>
+        <li>code completion in IDE</li>
+        <li>almost none syntactically invalid queries allowed</li>
+        <li>domain types and properties can be referenced safely</li>
+        <li>adopts better to refactoring changes in domain types</li>        
+      </ul>
+      </p>
