15**Urbit** is a secure peer-to-peer network of personal servers, built on a
16clean-slate system software stack.
18Check out the [technical overview](about/overview) for a high-level architecture
19description. To install and run Urbit, head to the Using section, starting with
20the [installation guide](using/install) and continuing forward.
22To begin developing for Urbit, start by walking through
23[Urbytes](https://urbit.org/docs/byte/0). After that, delve into Hoon
24[syntax](hoon/syntax) directly, then walk through the [Arvo tutorials](arvo).
25The examples and exercises in Arvo will teach you to build high-level programs
26and interact with the network.
28Dig into the mechanics of Urbit with [Core Hoon](hoon). Refer back there for
29pure-code exercises and functions in the [standard library](hoon/library).
31Anyone obsessed with math, theory, fundamentals of computation, etc, should
32start with the [Nock definition](nock/definition) and work upward from there.
