.Net SDK developer guide

Install and get started

You can find detailed installation instructions for the .NET SDK in the Quickstart.

There's also a short walkthrough of how to use the Temporal primitives (Activities, Workflows, and Workers) to build and run a Temporal application to get you up and running.

Once your local Temporal Service is set up, continue building with the following resources:

• Workflow Basics
• Activity Basics
• Start an Activity Execution
• Run Worker Processes

From there, you can dive deeper into any of the Temporal primitives to start building Workflows that fit your use cases.
