This chapter provides a whirlwind tour of the main features of the Scala 3 programming language. After this initial tour, the rest of the book provides more details on these features, and the [Reference documentation][reference] provides many more details.
Throughout this chapter, and the rest of the book, we encourage you to try out the examples by either copying them or typing them out manually. The tools necessary to follow along with the examples on your own computer can be installed by following our [getting started guide][get-started].
Alternatively you can run the examples in a web browser with Scastie, a fully online editor and code-runner for Scala.
