## Getting familiar with browser engineering in general
If you’ve never worked on browser-engine code before, and you’re not sure where to begin — one great place to get started is by reading the book [Web Browser Engineering](https://browser.engineering/). It explains how browser engines in general work, and how they’re built — by walking you through real code for actually building all the parts of a basic but complete browser engine (networking code, HTML parsing, layout engine, JavaScript handling, and more), in a couple thousand lines of Python.
## Building the code
Ladybird must be built from source during this pre-alpha stage of development, and currently natively supports Linux and macOS; running it on Windows requires WSL.
