## Features
* A P2P network of nodes
* Smart contracts
* Flow framework
* "Notary" infrastructure to validate uniqueness of transactions
* Written as a platform for distributed apps called CorDapps
* Smart contracts that can be written in Java and other JVM languages
* Flow framework to manage communication and negotiation between participants
* Peer-to-peer network of nodes
* "Notary" infrastructure to validate uniqueness and sequencing of transactions without global broadcast
* Enables the development and deployment of distributed apps called CorDapps
* Written in [Kotlin](https://kotlinlang.org), targeting the JVM
## Getting started
Firstly, read the [Getting started](https://docs.corda.net/getting-set-up.html) documentation.
Next, use the following guides to set up your dev environment:
* If you are on **Windows** [use this getting started guide](https://www.corda.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Corda-Windows-Quick-start-guide-1.pdf) which also explains through how to run the sample apps.
* Alternatively if you are on **Mac/Linux**, [watch this brief Webinar](https://vimeo.com/200167665) which walks through getting Corda, installing it, building it, running nodes and opening projects in IntelliJ.
After the above, watching the following webinars will give you a great introduction to Corda:
### Webinar 1 – [Introduction to Corda](https://vimeo.com/192757743/c2ec39c1e1)
Richard Brown, R3 Chief Technology Officer, explains Corda's unique architecture, the only distributed ledger platform designed by and for the financial industry's unique requirements. You may want to read the [Corda non-technical whitepaper](https://www.r3cev.com/s/corda-introductory-whitepaper-final.pdf) as pre-reading for this session.
### Webinar 2 – [Corda Developers’ Tutorial](https://vimeo.com/192797322/aab499b152)
Roger Willis, R3 Developer Relations Lead, provides an overview of Corda from a developer’s perspective and guidance on how to start building CorDapps. You may want to view [Webinar 1 - Introduction to Corda](https://vimeo.com/192757743/c2ec39c1e1) as preparation for this session. **NB. This was recorded for the M5 release.**
## Building on Corda
To build your own CorDapps:
1. Clone the [CorDapp Template repository](https://github.com/corda/cordapp-template)
2. Read the [README](https://github.com/corda/cordapp-template/blob/master/README.md) (**IMPORTANT!**)
3. Read the [Writing a CorDapp](https://docs.corda.net/tutorial-cordapp.html) documentation
To look at the Corda source and run some sample applications:
1. Clone this repository
2. To run some sample CorDapps, read the [running the demos documentation](https://docs.corda.r3cev.com/running-the-demos.html)
3. Start hacking and [contribute](./CONTRIBUTING.md)!
1. Read the [Getting Started](https://docs.corda.net/getting-set-up.html) documentation
2. Run the [Example CorDapp](https://docs.corda.net/tutorial-cordapp.html)
3. Read about Corda's [Key Concepts](https://docs.corda.net/key-concepts.html)
3. Follow the [Hello, World! tutorial](https://docs.corda.net/hello-world-index.html)

## Development State
Corda is under active development and is maturing rapidly. We are targeting
production-readiness in 2017. The API will continue to evolve throughout 2017;
backwards compatibility not assured until version 1.0.
Pull requests, experiments, and contributions are encouraged and welcomed.
## Background
The project is supported by R3, a financial industry consortium, which is why it
contains some code for financial use cases and why the documentation focuses on finance. The goal is to use it
to construct a global ledger, simplifying finance and reducing the overheads of banking. But it is run as
an open source project and the basic technology of a peer-to-peer decentralised database may be useful
for many different projects.
