# Getting Started

- [Reading Blockchain Data](https://docs.telcoin.network/telcoin-network/getting-started/reading-blockchain-data.md): Reading data is the simplest form of blockchain interaction.
- [cURL requests](https://docs.telcoin.network/telcoin-network/getting-started/reading-blockchain-data/curl-requests.md): We can query the blockchain instantly using cURL (Client URL) requests
- [Programmatic Requests](https://docs.telcoin.network/telcoin-network/getting-started/reading-blockchain-data/programmatic-requests.md): Build scripts using Axios or Requests, still calling read RPC methods but using more involved methods, e.g. eth\_call
- [eth\_blockNumber](https://docs.telcoin.network/telcoin-network/getting-started/reading-blockchain-data/programmatic-requests/eth_blocknumber.md): As a simple example, we can use TypeScript and axios (A typescript library for making API requests) to query the current block number.
- [eth\_call](https://docs.telcoin.network/telcoin-network/getting-started/reading-blockchain-data/programmatic-requests/eth_call.md): Let's cover a slightly tougher RPC call which will introduce some more blockchain concepts.
- [Libraries](https://docs.telcoin.network/telcoin-network/getting-started/reading-blockchain-data/libraries.md): So far we have looked at reading blockchain data directly from the blockchain by calling RPC nodes using HTTP requests. We've also seen how to decode responses. Much of this can be abstracted away.
- [Dapp Development](https://docs.telcoin.network/telcoin-network/getting-started/dapp-development.md)
- [Development Tools](https://docs.telcoin.network/telcoin-network/getting-started/dapp-development/development-tools.md)
- [Faucet](https://docs.telcoin.network/telcoin-network/getting-started/faucet.md)
- [Hardware Requirements](https://docs.telcoin.network/telcoin-network/getting-started/hardware-requirements.md): Hardware requirements for full validator nodes.
