because there are still quite a few links to the old name and URL even within our own repository. Reformat docsite slightly to make the white papers more prominent. Also link to the Chinese/Japanese translations of the old paper. Make the build script do both platform/intro and tech white papers.

If you want to start coding on Corda, then familiarise yourself with the :doc:`key concepts </key-concepts>`, then read
|
||
our :doc:`Hello, World! tutorial </hello-world-introduction>`.
|
||
|
||
* For the background behind Corda read the `introductory white paper`_ (`Simplified Chinese`_, `Traditional Chinese`_, `Japanese`_).
|
||
* For much more architectural detail, the `technical white paper`_.
|

Welcome to Corda, a platform for building decentralized applications. This guidebook covers everything you need to know to create
|
||
apps, run nodes and networks, and operate your new decentralized business network.
|
||
|
||
If you're completely new to distributed ledger technology (DLT) or Corda and would like a business-oriented overview, we recommend
|
||
reading the introductory white paper. If you'd like a detailed architectural description of how the Corda protocol works, why
|
||
it's designed how it is and what future work is planned, we recommend reading the technical white paper. Both white papers can be
|
||
found on `the Corda documentation website`_.
|
||
|
||
But if you'd like to dive in and start writing apps, or running nodes, this guidebook is for you. It covers the open source Corda
|
||
distribution. Commercial distributions (like Corda Enterprise from R3) have their own user guides that describe their enhanced features.
|
||
|
||
We look forward to seeing what you can do with Corda!
