The Learning area

Welcome to the Learning area for the Genesis platform.

All our documentation is aimed at people who already have some development knowledge. Ideally, you should have experience of Java and/or JavaScript, but development experience in any object-oriented language is a good starting point.
It helps if you have some basic knowledge of the financial markets - you'll need that if you want to develop an effective application - but we have tried to avoid jargon as much as possible.
