How to Start Developing on Meta Platforms (Horizon)?

Hi everyone,

I’m new to development on Meta platforms and I’d like to know the best way to get started with Horizon world.

  • What’s the right entry point for start development on Meta?
  •  Which docs or resources should I follow first?
  • Are there any recommended learning paths or steps to avoid wasting time on unnecessary trial and error?

I’d love to hear from experienced developers who have already gone through this stage, so I can start off on the right track and build a strong foundation from the beginning.

Thanks in advance to anyone who shares their experience or points me in the right direction

    Hello! 

    You're trying to develop on Horizon Worlds specifically?
    You should download the editor - https://developers.meta.com/horizon-worlds 

    This allows you to create worlds and experiences for Meta Horizon Worlds.

    You can also check out the creator forums - Category: Creator Forum | Meta Community Forums

    There's a lot of information in there on how to get started with Horizon Worlds.

      Hello there!

      To build off of what VirtuallyARealDinosaur said, here is a specific link to our documentation on Horizon worlds. On the left hand side they have additional documents on more specific topics you may be interested in! 
       
      If you go here, it will take you to a document on how to access the tutorial worlds. These allow you to break down the world and explore scripts, manipulate entities, and more!

      Hope this helps, and let me know if you need any additional help!
