Tutorials with code samples that are aimed to get you started quickly with Dapr

The Dapr Quickstarts are a collection of tutorials with code samples that are aimed to get you started quickly with Dapr, each highlighting a different Dapr capability.

A good place to start is the hello-world quickstart, it demonstrates how to run Dapr in standalone mode locally on your machine and demonstrates state management and service invocation in a simple application.
Next, if you are familiar with Kubernetes and want to see how to run the same application in a Kubernetes environment, look for the hello-kubernetes quickstart. Other quickstarts such as pub-sub, bindings and the distributed-calculator quickstart explore different Dapr capabilities include instructions for running both locally and on Kubernetes and can be completed in any order. A full list of the quickstarts can be found below.
At anytime, you can explore the Dapr documentation or SDK specific samples and come back to try additional quickstarts.
When you’re done, consider exploring the Dapr samples repository for additional code samples contributed by the community that show more advanced or specific usages of Dapr.
