# Intro to Nx
|
|
|
|
Nx is a smart, fast and extensible build system with first class monorepo support and powerful integrations.
|
|
|
|
## Philosophy
|
|
|
|
Nx has a similar design philosophy to Visual Studio Code. VSCode is a powerful text editor, and you can be very productive
|
|
with it even if you don't install any extensions. The ecosystem of VSCode's extensions though is what can really level
|
|
up your productivity.
|
|
|
|
Nx is similar. The core of Nx is generic, simple, and unobtrusive. Nx plugins, although very useful for many projects,
|
|
are completely optional.
|
|
|
|
Most examples on this site use Nx plugins. It's just easier to demonstrate many features Nx offers when Nx generates all
|
|
the boilerplate. However, the vast majority of the features will work the same way in a workspace with no plugins.
|
|
|
|
## Getting Started
|
|
|
|
- [Nx core tutorial](/core-tutorial/01-create-blog) will help you understand the core of Nx.
|
|
- [Adding Nx to an existing monorepo](/recipe/adding-to-monorepo) shows several paths to adopting Nx in your organization.
|
|
- [Mental model](/concepts/mental-model) is a good starting point for those who like to understand things theoretically first.
