Lnd Tutorial

This series of tutorials will teach you how to get started developing applications with lnd as a windows user.

If you don’t yet understand the lightning network concept, I would highly reccommend a read of the offical lnd Overview and Developer Guide, though it is not necessary to complete these tutorials.

If you have any questions, suggestions, or wish to say thanks, you can find my contact details on the about page.

Good luck! – Brett
