# ABP Documentation

ABP is an **open source application framework** focused on ASP.NET Core based web application development, but also supports developing other types of applications.

Explore the left navigation menu to deep dive in the documentation.

## Getting Started

Easiest way to start a new project with ABP is to use the startup templates:

* [ASP.NET Core MVC (Razor Pages) UI Startup Template](Getting-Started?UI=MVC&DB=EF&Tiered=No)
* [Angular UI Startup Template](Getting-Started?UI=NG&DB=EF&Tiered=No)

If you want to start from scratch (with an empty project) then manually install the ABP Framework and use the following tutorials:

* [Console Application](Getting-Started-Console-Application.md)
* [ASP.NET Core Web Application](Getting-Started-AspNetCore-Application.md)

## Source Code

ABP is hosted on GitHub. See [the source code](https://github.com/abpframework/abp).
