# QMK Syllabus
This page helps you build up your QMK knowledge by introducing the basics first and guiding you to understanding all the concepts you need to know to be proficient with QMK.
# Beginning Topics
If you read nothing else you should read the documents in this section. After reading the [Tutorial](newbs.md) you should be able to create a basic keymap, complie it, and flash it to your keyboard. The remaining documents will flesh out your knowledge of these basics.
* **Learn How To Use QMK Tools**
* [Tutorial](newbs.md)
* [CLI](cli.md)
* [GIT](newbs_git_best_practices.md)
* **Learn About Keymaps**

* The full list of keycodes you can use. Note that some may require knowledge found in the Intermediate or Advanced Topics.
* **Configuring IDEs** - Optional
* [Eclipse](other_eclipse.md)
* [VSCode](other_vscode.md)
