# Get started with Bolt: build and publish your first app

> Learn what Bolt is, build and publish your first app with the QuickStart guide, and see how a project moves from idea to live site. No coding is required.

Bolt turns a description of what you want into a working web or mobile app. To get started with Bolt, choose the starting point that matches how you like to learn.

## Choose where to start

* [Intro to Bolt](/get-started/intro-bolt): Find out who Bolt is for and what you can build, then choose a way to start a project.
* [Bolt QuickStart guide](/get-started/quickstart): Build and publish your first app in one session, with no code required.
* [Project lifecycle](/get-started/project-lifecycle): Follow the four stages of a project: design and plan, write your first prompt, iterate, and publish.
* [Learn Bolt with video tutorials](/get-started/video-tutorials): Watch our onboarding playlist, which walks you through the most common tasks and skills to get you building.

## Keep learning

When you're ready to learn more, [Planning and prompting](/prompting) covers how to describe what you want so Bolt builds it as you intended and [Building](/building) covers the tools for refining your project.
