# Getting Started

If you are completely new, do not overcomplicate the first step. The goal is to get a working project and learn the mental model as you build.

## Recommended Path

1. Read the [Solana Docs](https://solana.com/docs) overview
2. Set up your environment with [Quick Installation](https://solana.com/docs/intro/installation)
3. Get test funds with [devnet SOL and faucet guide](https://solana.com/developers/guides/getstarted/solana-token-airdrop-and-faucets)
4. Start from an official template at [Solana Developer Templates](https://solana.com/developers/templates)
5. Use [Program Examples](https://solana.com/docs/programs/examples) when you need a reference implementation

## Good Starting Options

* [solana.new](https://www.solana.new/) for AI-assisted project setup and fast experimentation
* [Solana Learn](https://solana.com/learn) for a lighter, concept-first ramp
* [Quick Start in the browser](https://solana.com/docs/intro/quick-start) if you want to prototype without a full local setup

## If You Already Know Web Development

Start with:

* [Developer Templates](https://solana.com/developers/templates)
* [Intro to Anchor](https://solana.com/developers/courses/onchain-development/intro-to-anchor)
* [Solana Cookbook](https://solana.com/developers/cookbook)

Then jump to [Boilerplates & Starter Kits](/superteam-germany-guilds/build-on-solana/boilerplates-and-starter-kits.md).
