# Developer Guide

Welcome to DIGIT Developer Guides!

For ease of use, we have divided our guides broadly into 2 sections:

<table data-card-size="large" data-view="cards"><thead><tr><th></th><th></th><th></th><th data-hidden data-card-target data-type="content-ref"></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><mark style="color:blue;"><strong>Backend Developer Guide</strong></mark></td><td>A complete guide for developing and deploying the DIGIT backend</td><td></td><td><a href="/pages/X17rMosa24sKpsGsN9tL">/pages/X17rMosa24sKpsGsN9tL</a></td></tr><tr><td><mark style="color:blue;"><strong>Frontend Developer Guide</strong></mark></td><td>Detailed guide for frontend developers on DIGIT</td><td></td><td><a href="/pages/fadFa5MrqWNEXT0vdyKe">/pages/fadFa5MrqWNEXT0vdyKe</a></td></tr></tbody></table>

For a practical orientation, these guides, together, will walk you through all the steps required to build a birth registration service module and a corresponding UI module.
