+Getting Started Guide for Beginner Programmers
+==============================================
+
+.. note:: Note that the scripts and strategies given in this guide aren't necessarily
+          optimal. They're just meant to introduce you to the game and help you get
+          started.
+
+This is an introductory guide to getting started with Bitburner. It is not meant to be a
+comprehensive guide for the entire game, only the early stages. If you are confused
+or overwhelmed by the game, especially the programming and scripting aspects, this
+guide is perfect for you!
+
+Note that this guide is tailored towards those with minimal programming experience.
+
+Introduction
+------------
+Bitburner is a cyberpunk-themed incremental RPG. The player progresses by raising
+their :ref:`gameplay_stats`, earning money, and :ref:`climbing the corporate ladder <gameplay_companies>`.
+Eventually, after reaching certain criteria, the player will begin receiving invitations
+from :ref:`gameplay_factions`. Joining these factions and working for them will unlock
+:ref:`gameplay_augmentations`. Purchasing and installing Augmentations provide persistent
+upgrades and are necessary for progressing in the game.
+
+The game has a minimal story/quest-line that can be followed to reach the end of the game.
+Since this guide is only about getting started with Bitburner, it will not cover the
+entire "quest-line".
+
+First Steps
+-----------
+I'm going to assume you followed the introductory tutorial when you first began the game.
+In this introductory tutorial you created a script called `foodnstuff.script` and ran it
+on the `foodnstuff` server. Right now, we'll kill this script. There are two ways
+to do this:
+
+1. You can go to the Terminal and enter::
+
+    $ kill foodnstuff.script
+
+2. You can go to the "Active Scripts" page (:ref:`Keyboard shortcut <shortcuts>` Alt + s) and
+   press the "Kill Script" button for `foodnstuff.script`.
+
+If you skipped the introductory tutorial, then ignore the part above. Instead, go to the
+"Hacknet Nodes" page (:ref:`Keyboard shortcut <shortcuts>` Alt + h) and purchase a
+Hacknet Node to start generating some passive income.

-    * Bladeburner Changes:
+    * Duplicate Sleeve changes:
-    ** Reduced the amount of rank needed to earn a skill point
+    ** You can now purchase Augmentations for your Duplicate Sleeves
-    ** Reduced the effects of the "Reaper" and "Evasive System" skills

-    ** The "Overlock" Skill now has a maximum level of 90 instead of 95
-    ** Money earned from Contracts increased by 400%
-    ** Changed the way population affects success rate. Extreme populations now have less dramatic effects
-    ** Added two new General Actions: Diplomacy and Hyperbolic Regeneration Chamber
-    ** Lowered the rep and money cost of the "Blade's Simulacrum" augmentation
-    ** Significantly decreased the initial  amount of Contracts/Operations (the "Contracts/Operations remaining" value)
-    ** Decreased the rate at which the amount of Contracts/Operations increases over time
-    ** Decreased the number of successes you need to increase the max level of a Contract/Operation
-    ** Increased the average number of Synthoid communities each city has
-    ** Reduced the amount by which a successful raid will decrease the population of a city
-    ** The "riots" event will now increase the chaos of a city by a greater amount
-    ** Significantly increased the effect that Agility and Dexterity have on action time
 
-    * Added new BitNode multipliers:
+    * Bug Fix: 'rm' Terminal and Netscript commands now work on non-program files that have '.exe' in the name (by Github user MasonD)
-    ** HomeComputerRamCost - Affects how much it costs to upgrade home computer's RAM
+    * Bug Fix: The 'Find All Valid Math Expressions' Coding Contract should now properly ignore whitespace in answers
-    ** DaedalusAugsRequirement - Affects how many Augmentations you need in order to get invited to Daedalus
+    * Bug Fix: The 'Merge Overlapping Intervals' Coding Contract should now properly accept 2D arrays when being attempted through Netscript
-    ** FourSigmaMarketDataCost - Affects how much it costs to unlock the stock market's 4S Market Data
-    ** FourSigmaMarketDataApiCost - Affects how much it costs to unlock the stock market's 4S Market Data API
-
-    * A few minor changes to BitNode multipliers across the board (mostly for the new multipliers)
-    * 'The Covenant' now requires 20 total Augmentations to get invited, rather than 30
-    * You can now purchase permanent Duplicate Sleeves from 'The Covenant'. This requires Source-File 10, and you must be in BN-10 or after
-    * You can now track where all of your money comes from in the 'Stats' page
-    * Increased the money gained from Coding Contracts by 50%
-    * getCharacterInformation() function now returns the player's HP and max HP
-    * Bug Fix: You can no longer disconnect the enemy's connections in Hacking Missions
-    * Bug Fix: Duplicate Sleeve faction reputation gain is now properly affected by faction favor
-    * Bug Fix: After installing Augmentations, the Terminal display will now correctly show the current server as "home"
-    * Bug Fix: Fixed an exploit where you could change the duration of timed functions (e.g. hack, weaken) in NetscriptJS
-    * Bug Fix: You should now properly be able to use the ServerProfile.exe program
-    * Bug Fix: Prevented exploit that allowed you to accept faction invites programmatically through NetscriptJS
-    * Bug Fix: Faction invitations for megacorporations should now work properly
