How can I get started with Hedera Hashgraph?

Getting started with Hedera Hashgraph is relatively straightforward.

The first step is to create an account on the Hedera Portal. This will give you access to the Hedera Hashgraph network and allow you to interact with it. Once you have created your account, you can begin exploring the network by using the various tools available on the portal.

You can use these tools to explore transactions, accounts, and smart contracts on the network. You can also use them to develop applications that interact with the network. The next step is to familiarize yourself with the Hedera Hashgraph SDKs (Software Development Kits).

These SDKs provide a set of APIs that allow developers to interact with the network and build applications on top of it. The SDKs are available for multiple programming languages, including Java, JavaScript, Python, and Go. Once you have become familiar with the SDKs, you can start building applications that interact with the Hedera Hashgraph network.

You can use these applications to send transactions, create accounts, and deploy smart contracts on the network. Finally, if you want to learn more about how Hedera Hashgraph works under-the-hood or get involved in its development process, you can join its community forums or join its developer program. This will give you access to resources such as tutorials and documentation that will help you understand how Hedera Hashgraph works and how it can be used in various scenarios.
