Getting Started

---

1. Hello World

Very Basic Introductory Materials

• Deploy and interact with a digital asset (token)
• Get Started with Tplus to manage Tezos environments (sandboxes and public nodes)
• Run a Tezos sandbox
• Try SmartPy in a browser
• Learn the basics of SmartPy
• Try LIGO in a browser
• Learn the basics of LIGO
• Try Michelson in a browser
• Learn the basics of Michelson
• Check out Cryptonomic's Tezos developers' handbook

2. Write a Smart Contract

Write smart contracts in your choice of syntax. Code will compile to Michelson, the smart contract language of the Tezos blockchain.

• Python | SmartPy
• Pascal, OCaml, ReasonML | LIGO
• Haskell | Indigo
• Domain-Specific | Archetype
• Language of Tezos Smart Contracts | Michelson

3. Use a Library

Use a library to integrate Tezos with your application.

• Taquito - TypeScript library suite
• TzStats - indexer and API
• TzKT - indexer and API
• Conseil - indexer and API
• ConseilJS - library for building apps in TypeScript and JavaScript
• ConseilPy - Python toolkit for Conseil indexer and API
• Morley - Developer tools for Michelson
• TezosKit - Swift SDK for iOS, macOS, and iPadOS
• KotlinTezos - Android/Kotlin toolbox
• PyTezos - Python SDK
• Sotez - JavaScript library
• Magic - passwordless wallet connector for apps
• Beacon - wallet connector for apps
• TezBridge - wallet connector for apps
• Go Tezos- Go library
• TezosJ - Android Java SDK
• TezosJ Plain Java - Java SDK
• Netezos - .Net Standard 2.0 library

4. Explore the Blockchain

Use a block explorer to analyze the Tezos blockchain.

• TzStats
• tezblock
• Arronax
• TzKT
• TezTracker
• TezEdge - Tezos Node Explorer
• Tezos Notifier Bot (Telegram)
• Better Call Dev - Smart Contract Explorer
• SmartPy Contract Explorer
