Your First Daml Contract: Intro to Canton's New Unified Docs + DPM

New to building on Canton? This is where you start.

In this video, I walk through Canton's new unified developer documentation and show you how to write your first Daml Smart Contract from scratch using DPM (Daml package manager). By the end, you'll have a working contract, know how to build it into a DAR file, and run your first tests, all from the command line.

What's covered: - Tour of the new Canton unified developer docs - Installing and using DPM (dpm new, dpm build, dpm test) - Writing your first Daml template (signatories, observers, and choices) - Running Daml Script tests locally
