+# Getting Started
+
+If you are reading this, you probably want to create a Discord bot with Discordeno or migrate from popular libraries like Discord.js.
+
+If this is going to be your first time making a bot, you should use Deno instead of Node.js. Although in some cases, Deno might not be suitable for you because of missing packages or a code base that is too large to migrate to a slightly different language.
+
+This guide will help you make your first Discord bot using Node.js or even migrate your bot from another library.
+
+Moreover this guide will utilize two different options. One option to use the Discordeno package without any frameworks
+and one, which uses the wrapper called `Discordeno.js`, which aims to achieve a djs-like interface.
+
+:::important Disclaimer
+
+Some features are not documented yet. If you want to know more about them, kindly ask for help in the
+[Discord Server](https://discord.gg/ddeno).
+
+:::
+
+## Why should I switch?
+
+Discordeno was built with the purpose of being scalable, flexible and easy to use.
+
+Libraries like `Discord.js` and `Eris` often have excessive caching behavior that can only be changed slightly without
+breaking the entire library. There is a lack of customization and many nested classes, which makes it almost impossible
+to edit the code without having unwanted side effects. Moreover scalability is only possible on a limited extend.
+
+Discordeno has been kept plain and simple, which opens up a lot of opportunities for customization such as
+`custom-caching (custom-property-caching)`, [`Standalone Rest`](../big-bot-guide/rest.md),
+[`Gateway`](../big-bot-guide/gateway.md), [`Cache`](../big-bot-guide/cache.md) and more. Check the detailed advantages
+[here](https://github.com/discordeno/discordeno#features).
+
+This guide will also help you making your code more scalable and easier to maintain with bringing you closer to the
+Discord API.
+
+# Before you start
+
+Before you start digging in this guide, you should have a solid understanding of `javascript`. If you are not familiar
+with it, then you should take a look at some popular resources.
