#### Welcome to the Hive Developer Portal!

This site is designed to aid those interested in developing applications on the  **[Hive](http://hive.io){:target="_blank"}** blockchain.

If you don't know about Hive yet, visit [hive.io](https://hive.io).

The code for this site is on [gitlab](https://gitlab.syncad.com/hive/devportal). If you'd like to see a specific improvement
you can either submit a pull request or file an issue. Please follow our
[contribution guidelines](https://gitlab.syncad.com/hive/devportal/-/blob/develop/CONTRIBUTING.md)



#### Site Resources

The **quickstart** section has some general information on working with nodes, and testnets.

Our **tutorials** section will take you through the basics of interacting with Hive apis in Javascript, Python, and Ruby.

More detailed API specs are available in the **APPBASE API** section. Those apis are under development, so please read
notes at the top of each section.

You can find community resources, libraries, and more 'human' ways to get help and education in the **communities** section.

The **glossary** has Hive specific terms that will help you understand documentation, whitepapers, and the speech of other hivers.
