If you want to start getting coding with Corda, then familiarise yourself with the :ref:`key-concepts-label`. For the background behind Corda, read the non technical `Introductory white paper`_ or for more detail, the `Technical white paper`_.
Corda is a distributed ledger platform which runs CorDapps (**Cor**\ da **D**\ istributed **App**\ lication\ **s**\ ) that enables complex interactions (“Smart Contracts”) between parties on a Corda Network. There are several example CorDapps within the main Corda platform code repository under the samples folder, or you can clone and work from a templated CorDapp.
