The Basics
----------

This section will help you understand all the basic tools available in Denizen. This is **not** the first steps to take.

Before starting this section, you should already understand everything in the [Your First Steps](/guides/first-steps/index) section. If you don't understand the basic ideas of commands, tags, etc. please go back and read through that.

Pages listed below won't always give full background information, and will generally assume you've written a few simple scripts before and understand the basic ideas.

Remember: just reading the guide isn't the same as actually practicing. It's important to write the sample scripts and get the experience of having typed it all out and tried running it.
