Tutorials
=========

Application developers can use the Fabric tutorials to get started building their
own solutions. Start working with Fabric by deploying the `test network <./test_network.html>`_
on your local machine. You can then use the steps provided by the :doc:`deploy_chaincode`
tutorial to deploy and test your smart contracts. The :doc:`write_first_app`
tutorial provides an introduction to how to use the APIs provided by the Fabric
SDKs to invoke smart contracts from your client applications. For an in depth
overview of how Fabric applications and smart contracts work together, you
can visit the :doc:`developapps/developing_applications` topic.

Network operators can use the :doc:`deploy_chaincode` tutorial and the
:doc:`create_channel/create_channel_overview` tutorial series to learn
important aspects of administering a running network. Both network operators and
application developers can use the tutorials on
`Private data <./private_data_tutorial.html>`_ and `CouchDB <./couchdb_tutorial.html>`_
to explore important Fabric features. When you are ready to deploy Hyperledger
Fabric in production, see the guide for :doc:`deployment_guide_overview`.

There are two tutorials for updating a channel: :doc:`config_update` and
:doc:`updating_capabilities`, while :doc:`upgrading_your_components` shows how
to upgrade components like peers, ordering nodes, SDKs, and more.

Finally, we provide an introduction to how to write a basic smart contract,
:doc:`chaincode4ade`.

.. note:: If you have questions not addressed by this documentation, or run into
          issues with any of the tutorials, please visit the :doc:`questions`
          page for some tips on where to find additional help.
