Welcome to the Corda documentation!
|
|
===================================
|
|
|
|
.. warning:: This build of the docs is from the "|version|" branch, not a milestone release. It may not reflect the
|
|
current state of the code. `Read the docs for milestone release M8.2 <https://docs.corda.net/releases/release-M8.2/>`_.
|
|
|
|
`Corda <https://www.corda.net/>`_ is an open-source distributed ledger platform. The latest *milestone* (i.e. stable)
|
|
release is M8.2. The codebase is on `GitHub <https://github.com/corda>`_, and our community can be found on
|
|
`Slack <https://slack.corda.net/>`_ and in our `forum <https://discourse.corda.net/>`_.
|
|
|
|
If you're new to Corda, you should start by learning about its motivating vision and architecture. A good introduction
|
|
is the `Introduction to Corda webinar <https://vimeo.com/192757743/c2ec39c1e1>`_ and the `Introductory white paper`_. As
|
|
they become more familiar with Corda, readers with a technical background will also want to dive into the `Technical white paper`_,
|
|
which describes the platform's envisioned end-state.
|
|
|
|
Corda is designed so that developers can easily extend its functionality by writing CorDapps
|
|
(**Cor**\ da **D**\ istributed **App**\ lication\ **s**\ ). Some example CorDapps are available in the Corda repo's
|
|
`samples <https://github.com/corda/corda/tree/master/samples>`_ directory. To run these yourself, make
|
|
sure you follow the instructions in :doc:`getting-set-up`, then go to
|
|
:doc:`running-the-demos`.
|
|
|
|
If, after running the demos, you're interested in writing your own CorDapps, you can use the
|
|
`CorDapp template <https://github.com/corda/cordapp-template>`_ as a base. A simple example CorDapp built upon the template is available `here <https://github.com/corda/cordapp-tutorial>`_, and a video primer on basic CorDapp structure is available `here <https://vimeo.com/192797322/aab499b152>`_.
|
|
|
|
From there, you'll be in a position to start extending the example CorDapp yourself (e.g. by writing new states, contracts,
|
|
and/or flows). For this, you'll want to refer to this docsite, and to the `tutorials <https://docs.corda.net/tutorial-contract.html>`_
|
|
in particular. If you get stuck, get in touch on `Slack <https://slack.corda.net/>`_ or the `forum <https://discourse.corda.net/>`_.
|
|
|
|
Once you're familiar with Corda and CorDapp development, we'd encourage you to get involved in the development of the
|
|
platform itself. Find out more about `contributing to Corda <https://github.com/corda/corda/wiki/Corda's-Open-Source-Approach>`_.
