# Introduction

> An introduction to developing on the Neuron platform

The Neuron is an extensible server platform built on the [IoTGateway](https://github.com/PeterWaher/IoTGateway) framework. It provides the runtime, networking, persistence, and identity layers that power the Neuro platform.

This section is for developers who want to **build on the Neuron itself** — writing packages, extending its capabilities, and deploying custom logic — as opposed to integrating with it via the Neuron API.

## What you can build

* **Content packages** — Markdown pages, scripts, and JavaScript served directly by the Neuron
* **Assembly packages** — C# code that extends the Neuron runtime with new services, endpoints, and modules
* **First-party packages** — Official packages maintained by Trust Anchor Group that provide reusable infrastructure

## Where to start

* Read the [Development Overview](/neuron-development/development-overview) to understand the platform model
* Jump to [Package Architecture](/neuron-development/package-architecture) if you're ready to build
* Browse [First-party Packages](/neuron-development/first-party-packages/neuron-http-router) for pre-built infrastructure you can use in your own packages
