Getting Started 🚧

Welcome to your journey to programming! In this chapter I will explains how to install `fastn`, how to write a "hello world" program, how to publish it on the web. While we are learning programming from scratch, we would be learning best practices from day one. Which means from day one we will use terminal, we will use proper programming editor, and we will store our source code in a version control system and finally we will deploy the hello world program on the web for others to view.
