Getting Started Section

First impressions matter!

We need bullet-proof installation instructions for getting started on any major development platform (ie: Windows, Mac, Linux).

The instructions should be:

• Engaging - The installation process should be as painless as possible. The adjective we should strive for is "fun".
• Comprehensive - No corners cut here. Screenshots, exact commands to type, in-line troubleshooting tips, etc. Our "conversion rate" for new installs should be 100%.
• Explanatory - What are you installing on my machine? Why? How will this be used? No black boxes; just thorough explanations of what is happening and why.

This is such a critical piece for a new CLJS dev interested in getting his toes wet. First impressions matter!

Seems like this will be composed of:

• Installation instructions
• Compiling first project
• Where from here? (links to other things)

Some getting-started references:

• Dart
• TypeScript
• PureScript
• CoffeeScript
• LiveScript
• Elm
• Haxe

@NPrescott this is a good reference for getting started. @oakmac @shaunlebron add additional getting started ideas as necessary.
