title: SilverStripe Documentation introduction: 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 section will show you what server requirements you will need to meet and how to download and install SilverStripe.

To check out the features that SilverStripe offers without installing it, read the Feature Overview and play with the interactive demo website.

Getting support

SilverStripe has an wide range of options for getting support. The forums and IRC channel are the best places to talk and discuss questions and problems with the community. There are also several other websites with SilverStripe documentation to make use of.

  • The API Documentation contains technical reference and class information.
  • The User Help website contains documentation related to working within the CMS.

New features, API changes and the development roadmap for the product are discussed on the core mailinglist along with UserVoice.

Building your first SilverStripe Web application

Once you have completed the Getting Started guide and have got SilverStripe installed and running, the following Tutorials will lead through the basics and core concepts of SilverStripe.

Make sure you know the basic concepts of PHP5 before attempting to follow the tutorials. If you have not programmed with PHP5 be sure to read the Introduction to PHP5 (zend.com).
