It is designed to support pluggable implementations 7 of different components, and accommodate the complexity and intricacies that exist 8 across the economic ecosystem. 9 10 Hyperledger Fabric delivers a uniquely elastic and extensible architecture, 11 distinguishing it from alternative blockchain solutions. Planning for the 12 future of enterprise blockchain requires building on top of a fully-vetted, 13 open source architecture; Hyperledger Fabric is your starting point. 14 15 It's recommended for first-time users to begin by going through the 16 :doc:`getting_started` section in order to gain familiarity with the Hyperledger Fabric 17 components and the basic transaction flow. Once comfortable, continue 18 exploring the library for demos, technical specifications, APIs, etc. 19 20 .. note:: If you have questions not addressed by this documentation, or run into 21 issues with any of the tutorials, please visit the :doc:`questions` 22 page for some tips on where to find additional help. 23 24 Before diving in, watch how Hyperledger Fabric is Building a Blockchain for 25 Business: 26 27 .. raw:: html 28 29 <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/EKa5Gh9whgU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> 30 <br/><br/> 31 32 .. toctree:: 33 :maxdepth: 2 34 :caption: Getting Started 35 36 prereqs 37 getting_started 38 samples 39 40 .. toctree:: 41 :maxdepth: 2 42 :caption: Key Concepts 43 44 blockchain 45 capabilities 46 fabric_model 47 usecases 48 49 .. toctree:: 50 :maxdepth: 2 51 :caption: Tutorials 52 53 build_network 54 write_first_app 55 chaincode 56 chaincode4ade 57 chaincode4noah 58 videos 59 60 .. toctree:: 61 :maxdepth: 2 62 :caption: Operations Guide 63 64 best_practices 65 msp 66 configtx 67 configtxgen 68 configtxlator 69 cc-packaging-and-signing 70 endorsement-policies 71 error-handling 72 logging-control 73 74 .. toctree:: 75 :maxdepth: 2 76 :caption: Architecture 77 78 arch-deep-dive 79 txflow 80 Hyperledger Fabric CA's User Guide <http://hyperledger-fabric-ca.readthedocs.io/en/latest> 81 fabric-sdks 82 kafka 83 channels 84 ledger 85 readwrite 86 gossip 87 88 .. toctree:: 89 :maxdepth: 2 90 :caption: Troubleshooting and FAQs 91 92 Fabric-FAQ 93 94 .. toctree:: 95 :maxdepth: 2 96 :caption: Contributing 97 98 CONTRIBUTING 99 MAINTAINERS 100 jira_navigation 101 dev-setup/devenv 102 dev-setup/build 103 Gerrit/lf-account 104 Gerrit/gerrit 105 Gerrit/changes 106 Gerrit/reviewing 107 Gerrit/best-practices 108 testing 109 Style-guides/go-style 110 111 .. toctree:: 112 :maxdepth: 2 113 :caption: Appendix 114 115 glossary 116 releases 117 questions 118 status 119 120 ..
