# GNU social Developer's handbook
|
||||
|
||||
The book in your hands was written to teach you
|
||||
the art of contributing to the GNU social codebase.
|
||||
|
||||
It starts by introducing the Modules system and architecture,
|
||||
then the plugin development process and finally the exciting internals
|
||||
of GNU social for those looking forward to make the most advanced contributions.
|
||||
|
||||
# What you need to dive in
|
||||
|
||||
At least a webserver such as [nginx](https://nginx.org/) and a DBMS such as [postgresql](https://www.postgresql.org/).
|
||||
|
||||
Depending on what you want to do, you may want to setup a queues (and caching) system such as [redis](https://redis.io/).
|
||||
|
||||
To learn how to set all of that up, you may refer to the [System Administrator's handbook](/administrator).
|
||||
|
||||
Understand that this book assumes prior programming knowledge, if that doesn't sound like you, refer to our [study
|
||||
resources](https://www.gnusocial.rocks/soc/study_resources.html) to get started.
|
||||
|
||||
# The other documentations are equally relevant to a developer
|
||||
|
||||
The [User](/user) one is intended to illustrate the various common use cases, possibilities regarding customization and introduce the existing functionalities.
|
||||
|
||||
The [Administrator](/administrator) one explains the step by step of how to install and maintain a GNU social instance, be it as node of The Free Network or as an intranet social network in a company setting.
|
||||
|
||||
The [Designer](/designer) one is an in-depth overview of the design motifs, and the design language used. Useful for creating new plugins and help as a basis for new themes.
