Echo is a programming language. You write instructions, save them, and Echo runs them for you.

You do not need to know programming to start.

Pick one path. You can always try the other later.

Best if you want to see Echo work in the next minute.

1. Open the Playground.
2. Wait until the status says Ready (Echo is loading in the browser).
3. Click Run.
4. Look at the OUTPUT panel on the right.

You should see:

Hello, Echo!

Then change the word inside the quotes and click Run again.

Next: Your first program
