Hi all, welcome to the first article of the nim-libp2p's tutorial series!
# Simple ping tutorial
_This tutorial is for everyone who is interested in building peer-to-peer chatting applications. No Nim programming experience is needed._
Hi all, welcome to the first nim-libp2p tutorial!
!!! tips ""
This tutorial is for everyone who is interested in building peer-to-peer applications. No Nim programming experience is needed.
To give you a quick overview, **Nim** is the programming language we are using and **nim-libp2p** is the Nim implementation of [libp2p](https://libp2p.io/), a modular library that enables the development of peer-to-peer network applications.
Hope you'll find it helpful in your journey of learning. Happy coding! ;)
# Before you start
## Before you start
The only prerequisite here is [Nim](https://nim-lang.org/), the programming language with a Python-like syntax and a performance similar to C. Detailed information can be found [here](https://nim-lang.org/docs/tut1.html).
Install Nim via their official website: [https://nim-lang.org/install.html](https://nim-lang.org/install.html)

Check Nim's installation via `nim --version` and its package manager Nimble via `nimble --version`.

# A simple ping application
## A simple ping application
We'll start by creating a simple application, which is starting two libp2p [switch](https://docs.libp2p.io/concepts/stream-multiplexing/#switch-swarm), and pinging each other using the [Ping](https://docs.libp2p.io/concepts/protocols/#ping) protocol.
_TIP: You can extract the code from this tutorial by running `nim c -r tools/markdown_runner.nim examples/tutorial_1_connect.md` in the libp2p folder!_

We created some variables that we'll need for the rest of the application: the global `rng` instance, our `localAddress`, and an instance of the `Ping` protocol.
The address is in the [MultiAddress](https://github.com/multiformats/multiaddr) format. The port `0` means "take any port available".
`tryGet` is procedure which is part of the [nim-result](https://github.com/arnetheduck/nim-result/), that will throw an exception if the supplied MultiAddress is not valid.

# Custom protocol in libp2p
