+Solidity
+========
+
+Solidity is a high-level language whose syntax is similar to that of JavaScript
+and it is designed to compile to code for the Ethereum Virtual Machine.
+As you will see, it is quite easy to create contracts for voting,
+crowdfunding, blind auctions, multi-signature wallets and more.
+
+.. note::
+    The best way to try out Solidity right now is using the
+    `Browser-Based Compiler <https://chriseth.github.io/browser-solidity/>`_
+    (it can take a while to load, please be patient).

+Language Documentation
+----------------------
+
+On the next pages, we will first see a :ref:`simple smart contract <simple-smart-contract>` written
+in Solidity followed by the basics about :ref:`blockchains <blockchain-basics>`
+and the :ref:`Ethereum Virtual Machine <the-ethereum-virtual-machine>`.
+
+The next section will explain several *features* of Solidity by giving
+useful :ref:`example contracts <voting>`
+Remember that you can always try out the contracts
+`in your browser <https://chriseth.github.io/browser-solidity>`_!
+
+The last and most extensive section will cover all aspects of Solidity in depth.
+
+If you still have questions, you can try searching or asking on the
+`Ethereum Stackexchange <https://ethereum.stackexchange.com/>`_
+site, or come to our `gitter channel <https://gitter.im/ethereum/solidity/>`_.
+Ideas for improving Solidity or this documentation are always welcome!
