8 XWiki is first and foremost a standard wiki. You might want to read up on the [definition of a wiki>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikiwiki]. This section of the documentation will show you how to use all the basic features of XWiki. However XWiki is also a [second generation wiki>platform:Main.SecondGenerationWiki] with powerful programming features which are documented in the [Developer's Guide>platform:DevGuide.WebHome].

10 At the same time as you follow the guides below we recommend that you try out what you learn on the [Playground>http://playground.xwiki.org]. This is a XWiki instance that we've set up for you so that you can easily discover the joys of using a wiki.

You can do this either by [creating a wiki on the XWiki Farm>http://www.xwiki.com] (this is the easiest) or by [downloading XWiki>xwiki:Main.Download] and [installing>platform:AdminGuide.Installation] it on your machine.
