## Getting Started

1. **Understanding the Framework**
```dart
// Start with these documents in order:
1. Getting Started Guide
2. Core Architecture
3. Laravel Compatibility Roadmap
4. Foundation Integration Guide
```

2. **Package Development**
```dart
// For each package:
1. Review package specification
2. Check gap analysis
3. Follow integration guide
4. Write tests
```

3. **Development Workflow**
```dart
// For each feature:
1. Review specifications
2. Write tests
3. Implement changes
4. Update documentation
```

## Key Concepts

### 1. Service Container Architecture
```dart
// Core application setup
var container = Container();
var app = Application(container)
  ..environment = 'production'
  ..basePath = Directory.current.path;

await app.boot();
```

### 2. Service Providers
```dart
class AppServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider {
  @override
  void register() {
    // Register services
  }
  
  @override
  void boot() {
    // Bootstrap services
  }
}
```

### 3. Package Integration
```dart
// Cross-package usage
class UserService {
  final EventDispatcher events;
  final Queue queue;
  
  Future<void> process(User user) async {
    await events.dispatch(UserProcessing(user));
    await queue.push(ProcessUser(user));
  }
}
```

## Contributing

1. **Before Starting**
- Review relevant documentation
- Check implementation status
- Understand dependencies
- Write tests first

2. **Development Process**
```dart
// 1. Create feature branch
git checkout -b feature/package-name/feature-name

// 2. Write tests
void main() {
  test('should implement feature', () {
    // Test implementation
  });
}

// 3. Implement feature
class Implementation {
  // Feature code
}

// 4. Submit PR
// - Include tests
// - Update documentation
// - Add examples
```

3. **Code Review**
- Verify specifications
- Check test coverage
- Review documentation
- Validate performance

## Best Practices

1. **API Design**
```dart
// Follow framework patterns
class Service {
  // Match framework method signatures
  Future<void> handle();
  Future<void> process();
}
```

2. **Testing**
```dart
// Comprehensive test coverage
void main() {
  group('Feature', () {
    // Unit tests
    // Integration tests
    // Performance tests
    // Error cases
  });
}
```

3. **Documentation**
```dart
/// Document framework compatibility
class Service {
  /// Processes data following framework patterns.
  /// 
  /// Example:
  /// ```dart
  /// var service = container.make<Service>();
  /// await service.process();
  /// ```
  Future<void> process();
}
```
