This article has some suggested initial steps to help you become an expert user and designer of LogicNets-based applications. You are free to browse our entire community portal using the search function and use the navigation on the top bar, but we recommend the following steps to get you going quickly. Follow the orange links below to go to the referenced article. ## What is LogicNets? First, we suggest some light reading to help you understand what LogicNets is all about. The following three articles are all in the *First Steps* section and you can access them by clicking the link. * What is LogicNets? (Click [here](/release-9/getting-started/logicnets-an-introduction/what-is-logicnets.md) to read the article.) * What Can I Do With LogicNets? (Read more [here](/release-9/getting-started/what-can-i-do-with-logicnets/what-can-i-do-with-logicnets.md).) * How It Works and High-Level Concepts (Read more [here](/release-9/getting-started/logicnets-an-introduction/how-it-works-logicnets-basics.md) and [here](/release-9/getting-started/logicnets-an-introduction/high-level-concepts.md).) ## LogicNets' Visual Designer When you first log into your Designer account you can click on the First-time User link to take a quick tour of our flagship product.![](https://2802811211-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FdFhfexCjZ5JMhwGzzywq%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-a325a7e11de9c551d3e15bac68888f454c3e8cf8%2F8c59d0de-bf0c-4851-9b15-28632d12a3a4.jpg?alt=media) ## Example Gallery and *Drinks for John* To help you learn about LogicNets and what you can do in the system we have created some example projects and how-to guides in the [Example Gallery](https://github.com/logicnets/community-portal/tree/release-9/docs/example-gallery/README.md) that you can review and try. You can download each of these examples and import them into your Designer -- run them and dig into them to learn how they are put together. *LogicNets 101 - Drinks for John* is a fun project that uses the LogicNets Assessment Framework, which is one we suggest people start with in LogicNets. Here's a quick [video](/release-9/example-gallery/demo-videos/assessment-framework-training-video.md) of the that shows the resulting application you build in this training. We suggest [importing the project](/release-9/getting-started/the-logicnets-designer/importexport-an-example-project.md) into your Designer so you can run it, then inspect how it works, and even re-build it yourself adding in your own customization. The full project is available for download [here](/release-9/example-gallery/example-applications/assessment-framework-application-logicnets-101-training-module.md). ![](https://2802811211-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FdFhfexCjZ5JMhwGzzywq%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-76a5fd06730d9216e30f03a15e2a564b5d7df0f2%2F6f6bc9f2-add8-41c9-941b-25ecb6c098d1.jpg?alt=media) ## Your First LogicNets Project Once you've read the articles above, taken the tour in the Designer, and looked at *Drinks for John*, we also recommend that you look at these articles to give you a head start on creating your first application: * Learn how to use our [Nodes Toolbox](/release-9/getting-started/interacting-with-nodes-in-the-designer-viewer.md) to build a pathway of steps. These steps can be user-facing and display things like a radiolist, or they can be system-facing steps that perform a calculation. * Discover the advantages of using one of our frameworks. We recommend [starting a new project](/release-9/getting-started/the-logicnets-designer/start-a-project.md) using the LogicNets Assessment Framework, but you can read about the Starter Application Framework Portal, Visual Navigation Framework, and Support Center Framework in this resource. * [Add a logicnet](/release-9/getting-started/the-logicnets-designer/add-a-logicnet.md) and, after adding some steps, immediately [test your application](/release-9/getting-started/the-logicnets-designer/test-a-logicnet.md) to see the fruits of your modeling work. ## Need Help?

GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://community-test.logicnets.com/release-9/getting-started/logicnets-an-introduction/your-first-steps-in-logicnets.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
