Get Started with Daml

The interactive tutorials in this section cover the fundamental concepts in Daml. By completing the tutorials you will get a good understanding of the build process, writing and testing smart-contracts in Daml, as well as what makes a good design pattern

 

1. Get started with Daml

This tutorial gets you up and running with full-stack Daml development. We do this through the example of a simple social networking application. The tutorial covers:
