+# Getting started with Play framework
+
+## Learn whether Play Framework is right for your project
+
+- [What is play?](documentation/2.8.x/Introduction)
+
+## First time Play user?
+
+Check out the [getting started guide](documentation/2.8.x/Home) to install system dependencies and run a minimal 
+play application! This is the best place to start if you are new to Scala, Java or Play.
+
+## Already know a bit about Play? 
+
+[In the play-samples repository](https://github.com/playframework/play-samples) there are a variety of example 
+projects in both Java and Scala for a particular use case. These include everything you need, including sbt, Play
+Framework and 3rd part dependencies.
+
+If you have all [system requirements](documentation/2.8.x/Home) installed, and you are ready to start your own project 
+you can create a Play project from the command line. Go to you projects folder and run one of the following commands:
+
+### Java seed template
+
+```bash
+sbt new playframework/play-java-seed.g8
+```
+
+## Scala seed template
+
+```bash
+sbt new playframework/play-scala-seed.g8
+```
+
+For more information on setting up the seed project, [Check out the documentation](documentation/2.8.x/Home).
