To get started with the AniNIX stack, some familiarity with key concepts and technologies is encouraged.

# The AniNIX
|
|
Contributing users should be familiar with the following pages, though these are only a selection of [[:Category:Operation|our operational policies]].
|
|
* [[User Ethics]] for the integrity required of contributors and users
|
|
* [[Design Principles]] -- how to design projects
|
|
* [[Development Best Practices]] for safe project work
|
|
* [[QANs]] for requesting bug fixes, and [[Bug Bounties]] for ongoing research projects.
|

# Basic Applications
|
|
RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a format of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XML XML] files presented over Internet HTTP links. It requires a reader like [[AniNIX::Singularity]], but many sites will have an orange icon with a dot and three curves to indicate their RSS feed -- we have one on our [https://aninix.net/ Root] page.
|
|
|
|
IRC or Internet Relay Chat is our primary means of communication. IRC clients connect to an IRC server -- the server also hosts services, such as a channel registry (ChanServ) and nickname reservation (NickServ). Our [[IRC|IRC Wiki page]] has details on clients to connect to our IRC, as well as links to tutorials and a channel mode listing.
|
|
|
|
[[Wiki]] is a Web application for community-driven content. Wikipedia maintains a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Getting_started Getting Started] guide that's excellent reading for new users of the application.
|
|
|
|
Git through [[Foundation|AniNIX::Foundation]] is a complicated system. While known as the "stupid content tracker", there are books written on Git for its many features. New users should start with the [https://linux.die.net/man/1/git git] man page and [https://linux.die.net/man/7/gittutorial turorial].
|
|
|
|
The shell is the user's primary method of interacting with the OS -- this is done with a local or remote terminal emulator. TLDP has a very [http://tldp.org/LDP/Bash-Beginners-Guide/html/ valuable guide] that new persons should read.

|
# Code Development
|
|
One of my favorite places for learning code development is [https://www.codingame.com/start Codingame], where students are given challenges to solve in their programming language of choice. Compiled code on the AniNIX generally is written in C# or C, and we'd recommend new users choose one of these if they want to contribute to new projects.
|
|
|
|
Users should also see [https://www.w3schools.com/ W3Schools] for front-end development through the HTML/CSS/PHP/JavaScript stack for a [[WebServer]]. HTML is used to create the structure of the page, CSS the format of colors etc., PHP for server-side code, and Javascript for client-side code.
