# Hello Builders

PlebBook is a community resource for aspiring developers and builders to learn and get involved with the Bitcoin Lightning ecosystem. Kinda like a builders manual for Bitcoin and Lightning.

## **Communities**

The Bitcoin community is home to thousands of developers, technologists, designers, users, HODLers and enthusiasts. Find and connect with like minded individuals to discuss, ponder, and celebrate Bitcoin together.
