+Getting Started Guide for Beginner Programmers
+==============================================
+
+.. note:: Note that the scripts and strategies given in this guide aren't necessarily
+          optimal. They're just meant to introduce you to the game and help you get
+          started.
+
+This is an introductory guide to getting started with Bitburner. It is not meant to be a
+comprehensive guide for the entire game, only the early stages. If you are confused
+or overwhelmed by the game, especially the programming and scripting aspects, this
+guide is perfect for you!
+
+Note that this guide is tailored towards those with minimal programming experience.
+
+Introduction
+------------
+Bitburner is a cyberpunk-themed incremental RPG. The player progresses by raising
+their :ref:`gameplay_stats`, earning money, and :ref:`climbing the corporate ladder <gameplay_companies>`.
+Eventually, after reaching certain criteria, the player will begin receiving invitations
+from :ref:`gameplay_factions`. Joining these factions and working for them will unlock
+:ref:`gameplay_augmentations`. Purchasing and installing Augmentations provide persistent
+upgrades and are necessary for progressing in the game.
+
+The game has a minimal story/quest-line that can be followed to reach the end of the game.
+Since this guide is only about getting started with Bitburner, it will not cover the
+entire "quest-line".
+
+First Steps
+-----------
+I'm going to assume you followed the introductory tutorial when you first began the game.
+In this introductory tutorial you created a script called `foodnstuff.script` and ran it
+on the `foodnstuff` server. Right now, we'll kill this script. There are two ways
+to do this:
+
+1. You can go to the Terminal and enter::
+
+    $ kill foodnstuff.script
+
+2. You can go to the "Active Scripts" page (:ref:`Keyboard shortcut <shortcuts>` Alt + s) and
+   press the "Kill Script" button for `foodnstuff.script`.
+
+If you skipped the introductory tutorial, then ignore the part above. Instead, go to the
+"Hacknet Nodes" page (:ref:`Keyboard shortcut <shortcuts>` Alt + h) and purchase a
+Hacknet Node to start generating some passive income.
