Application developers can use the Fabric tutorials to get started building their own solutions. Start working with Fabric by deploying the test network on your local machine. You can then use the steps provided by the deploy_chaincode tutorial to deploy and test your smart contracts. The 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 developapps/developing_applications topic.
Network operators can use the deploy_chaincode tutorial and the 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 and CouchDB to explore important Fabric features. When you are ready to deploy Hyperledger Fabric in production, see the guide for deployment_guide_overview.
There are two tutorials for updating a channel: config_update and updating_capabilities, while 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, chaincode4ade.
