## Introduction

This tutorial is meant to prepare you to contribute to the simulation toolkit for the EIC.
The tutorial is not meant to represent a complete software toolkit, but to put together enough pieces
together to get some results and serve as a jumping off point for further development.


## Tutorials

- [Quick start](getting-started/quickstart) - Start here to download software and configure your development environment.

- [Part 1](part1.md) - An introduction to the detector description starting with a simple detector. 
This tutorial shows how to add new parameterized detectors to a library of generic detectors (NPdet).

- [Part 2](part2.md) - 


* Preface for the new programmer
* Part 0a: Configuring your running environment
* Part 0b: Configuring your development environment
* Part 1: Simple Detector Example
* Part 2: Extending Detector Geometry
* Part 3: Adding a new detector
* Part 4: Detector digitization, volumes, and segmentation 
* Part 5: Event reconstruction
