Advice for starting with Discourse development

Hello to you and please give me a 101 of Discourse for a Dev if you have some spare time.

I am looking at a new project and honestly have no knowlege of thia platform. Vb and XF were my last project for clients but as a sole GNU/Linux user I finally have some tome for my own prpject and Opensource is the only way for me.
