## By Experience Level

### First-Time Plugin Developer

1. Run the [Quickstart](/docs/build/quickstart) to scaffold, build, and deploy a working plugin.
2. Read [Platform Overview](/docs/build/plugins/platform-overview) to understand how plugins fit into the Noorle architecture.
3. Follow the language guide for your preferred language: [Python](/docs/build/languages/python), [TypeScript](/docs/build/languages/typescript), [JavaScript](/docs/build/languages/javascript), [Go](/docs/build/languages/go), or [Rust](/docs/build/languages/rust).

### Experienced Developer

1. Review [Configuration](/docs/build/configuration) for `noorle.yaml` permissions and advanced settings.
