Our developer’s documentation has a lot of information to get you started. We’re continuing to build and beef up this portal, but you may find most of your answers here:

ScottinPollock’s video tutorial on Creating SmartApps from External code
Terminology Is Important: Documentation Needs a Glossary?
OK… so here’s a rough summary of what @balkcivil and I discussed. I’m hoping @Jim takes note and will be able to tell us what is planned in the short term documentation, with the rest going into the Community FAQs that @April is encouraging us to write …
This is meant to be a rough draft overview and may have various degrees of inaccuracy or consistency.
Listing all set parameters
Is there a way to list all the parameters set when a smartapp is installed from within the same smartapp?
I’ve tried everyway that I know how in groovy but none of them work.

@JDRoberts has a great explanation about Modes and Hello Home Actions in a coder’s POV and how it affects the end-user.
Welcome to the group! SmartThings can be great fun for people who enjoy coding, it’s a very flexible developer platform.
From a coder viewpoint:
Mode functions as a global mutable state variable. So you can change it from a lot of different places and then it’s available everywhere. And yes, if you’re not careful it will break your heart, because one process may have changed it before another one checks it.
