# Welcome to the Getting Started Guide!

New to Vaadin? Start with the Quick Start. It takes about 10 minutes, and you end up with a running Vaadin application and your first view.

[Start the Quick Start](https://vaadin.com/docs/v25/getting-started/quick-start.md)

When you have an application running, continue with the [Tutorial](https://vaadin.com/docs/v25/getting-started/tutorial.md). It takes you step by step through building a complete application with a database, forms, and navigation.

Need to install Java or an IDE first? See the [Development Environment](https://vaadin.com/docs/v25/getting-started/dev-environment.md) guide. Looking for other ways to create a project, such as Gradle or Spring Initializr? See [Starters](https://vaadin.com/docs/v25/getting-started/starters.md).
