summary: Welcome to the SilverStripe Developer Documentation. This website is aimed at website developers looking to learn how to build and manage web applications with the SilverStripe Framework.

## Getting Started with SilverStripe
Before you start developing your first web application, you'll need to install the latest version of SilverStripe onto
a web server. The [Getting Started](/getting_started) section will show you what
[server requirements](/getting_started/server_requirements) you will need to meet and how to
[download and install SilverStripe](/getting_started/installation).
To check out the features that SilverStripe offers without installing it, read the [Feature Overview](http://www.silverstripe.org/software/)
and play with our [interactive demos](http://silverstripe.org/try).
## Getting support
SilverStripe has an wide range of options for getting support:
* Join our [forum](https://forum.silverstripe.org)
* Ask technical questions on [Stack Overflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/silverstripe)
* Get help on our [Slack channel](https://www.silverstripe.org/community/slack-signup/)
* Read the technical reference in our [API Documentation](http://api.silverstripe.org/)
