I’m guessing you’ve arrived here at Duck because you're a web app developer. But, you are more than just a web app developer. You are a creator. And, creators learn by doing, not by reading… I feel you… But, please read everything in the “Getting started” walkthrough below!

Because I’m a creator just like you, I’ve made this stuff as short as I can possibly make it while still being a somewhat smooth read. So, it should only take 10 minutes, or so, to read. And, I assure you, it’s worth it!

Read philosophies - 1 minute read

Read core - 8 minute read

Read rules - 1 minute read

Look through Hello, World! - example

Look through Chat App - example

That’s it!

You can now dive straight into developing your first Duck app! You can continue exploring Duck as you develop/plan your app and discover the features you need. To start exploring, see recipes to assist you with implementing common features like CSS and list rendering.

Patterns are also useful suggestions when developing in Duck!

Personally, I'd start with looking at a few patterns.
