This brings us to the end of our initial look at Svelte, including how to install it locally, create a starter app, and how the basics work. In the next article we'll start building our first proper application, a todo list. Before we do that, however, let's recap some of the things we've learned.
The Svelte documentation is first class; it really stands out as an example of how technical documentation can be made accessible. However, for a simple and straightforward introduction to build a simple project with Svelte, the MDN Getting Started with Svelte is an excellent guide.
