Developers
Developers and UX designers in the FOLIO project work in close collaboration with librarians and vendors. Using an agile development process, developers build out the platform and modules and ensure compatibility between all the components.
FOLIO Developer
This site helps developers get started. It brings together the documentation and links that software developers will need to participate in the software development for the FOLIO project.
Getting Started
There is a section in FOLIO Documentation that includes information on getting started in GitHub. Start here for an introduction to the source code and the developer community.
Build with GitHub
The FOLIO platform consists of both server-side and client-side components, and will grow to include library services that run on the platform as modules. Several repositories in the folio-org GitHub organization host the core project code.
