Learn to build Docassemble interviews

If you have never used Docassemble before, you are on the right page! Below are a quick introduction, an in-depth interview builder training course, and additional resources.

tip

You will need access to a Docassemble playground, but if you don't have one you can use ours! Register an account on the LIT Lab Docassemble development server, then email us and ask for developer privileges.

Quick introduction​

The Hello, World exercise is a quick, friendly introduction to Docassemble.

After doing the exercise, watch a demonstration of the Weaver, a Document Assembly Line tool for quickly turning prepared forms into draft Docassemble interviews. The code generated by the Weaver is not a finished interview; it is a starting point intended for further editing.

Finally, review the interview project management page to get an idea of what an interview-building project is like.

Interview builder training​

To go beyond the introduction, follow along with our 3-part interview builder training on YouTube.

You can find additional training materials on GitHub, and you should join the Document Assembly Line community for help when you get stuck. We meet weekly for live support, host monthly workshops, and coding help is available 24/7 in our Microsoft Teams forum.

To join the Document Assembly Line community, just email us your request.
