Tutorials and guides

Our tutorials and guides are split into topics to help you learn to build apps using the Atlassian SDK. Tutorials provide step-by-step instructions for working through an example, while guides explore information about a particular topic in depth.

If you’re getting started with developing on Atlassian products, we recommend working through some tutorials. You can also check out the Product-specific tutorials page for more information about using the Atlassian SDK to build apps for specific products.

Note, these resources are relevant for server products only. If you are using a cloud product, check out our cloud documentation instead.
