# Get started

https://docs.serverpod.dev/2.5.0/get-started/overview

The getting started guide will help you understand how a Serverpod project is structured, how to make calls to endpoints, and how to communicate with the database.

We also prepared a video going over the basics of Serverpod and the technology its built upon. If you want to jump right in, you can skip the video and go straight to the [Serverpod Mini](https://docs.serverpod.dev/2.5.0/get-started/get-started-with-mini.md) section or [create a full Serverpod project](https://docs.serverpod.dev/2.5.0/get-started/creating-project.md).
