Beginner path

This page is a routing guide for new programmers or readers new to programming-with-types.

Prerequisites

• Rust (1.92+): install via rustup
• The Incan SDK installer from Getting Started
• Recommended: Editor setup (fast feedback while learning)

What you should do next

• Install the SDK, create a starter project, and run it: Getting Started
• Understand where builds go and what’s generated: Projects today
• If anything fails: Troubleshooting
• Follow the basics tutorial track: The Incan Book (Basics)
• Keep a glossary handy: Glossary
• Use tooling early (editor/LSP) to get fast feedback: Editor setup

Guardrails

• Don’t start with the generated reference; use it later as a lookup tool.
• Don’t start with RFCs; those are design records for contributors.
