## Getting Started
* <ahref="https://abp.io/"target="_blank">Official Web Site</a>
- [Getting Started Guide](https://docs.abp.io/en/abp/4.0/Getting-Started) is the easiest way to start a new web application with the ABP Framework.
- [Web Application Development Tutorial](https://docs.abp.io/en/abp/4.0/Tutorials/Part-1) is a complete tutorial to develop a full stack web application.
### Quick Start
Install the ABP CLI:
````bash
> dotnet tool install -g Volo.Abp.Cli
````
Create a new solution:
````bash
> abp new BookStore -u mvc -d ef
````
> See the [CLI documentation](https://docs.abp.io/en/abp/latest/CLI) for all available options.
ABP offers a complete, **modular** and **layered** software architecture based on **[Domain Driven Design](https://docs.abp.io/en/abp/latest/Domain-Driven-Design)** principles and patterns. It also provides the necessary infrastructure and guiding to [implement this architecture](https://docs.abp.io/en/abp/4.0/Domain-Driven-Design-Implementation-Guide).
ABP Framework is suitable for **[microservice solutions](https://docs.abp.io/en/abp/latest/Microservice-Architecture)** as well as monolithic applications.
### Infrastructure
There are a lot of features provided by the ABP Framework to achieve real world scenarios easier, like [Event Bus](https://docs.abp.io/en/abp/4.0/Event-Bus), [Background Job System](https://docs.abp.io/en/abp/4.0/Background-Jobs), [Audit Logging](https://docs.abp.io/en/abp/4.0/Audit-Logging), [BLOB Storing](https://docs.abp.io/en/abp/4.0/Blob-Storing), [Data Seeding](https://docs.abp.io/en/abp/4.0/Data-Seeding), [Data Filtering](https://docs.abp.io/en/abp/4.0/Data-Filtering), etc.
### Cross Cutting Concerns
ABP also simplifies (and even automates wherever possible) cross cutting concerns and common non-functional requirements like [Exception Handling](https://docs.abp.io/en/abp/4.0/Exception-Handling), [Validation](https://docs.abp.io/en/abp/4.0/Validation), [Authorization](https://docs.abp.io/en/abp/4.0/Authorization), [Localization](https://docs.abp.io/en/abp/4.0/Localization), [Caching](https://docs.abp.io/en/abp/4.0/Caching), [Dependency Injection](https://docs.abp.io/en/abp/4.0/Dependency-Injection), [Setting Management](https://docs.abp.io/en/abp/4.0/Settings), etc.
### Application Modules
ABP is a modular framework and the Application Modules provide **pre-built application functionalities**;
- [**Account**](https://docs.abp.io/en/abp/4.0/Modules/Account): Provides UI for the account management and allows user to login/register to the application.
- **[Identity](https://docs.abp.io/en/abp/4.0/Modules/Identity)**: Manages organization units, roles, users and their permissions, based on the Microsoft Identity library.
- [**IdentityServer**](https://docs.abp.io/en/abp/4.0/Modules/IdentityServer): Integrates to IdentityServer4.
- [**Tenant Management**](https://docs.abp.io/en/abp/4.0/Modules/Tenant-Management): Manages tenants for a [multi-tenant](https://docs.abp.io/en/abp/4.0/Multi-Tenancy) (SaaS) application.
See the [Application Modules](https://docs.abp.io/en/abp/4.0/Modules/Index) document for all pre-built modules.
### Startup Templates
The [Startup templates](https://docs.abp.io/en/abp/4.0/Startup-Templates/Index) are pre-built Visual Studio solution templates. You can create your own solution based on these templates to **immediately start your development**.
