# Next Steps

You have created resources, recorded a process run, and queried the result. The rest of the documentation is organized by what you are trying to do.

| Understand why RECAP is designed this way | [Explanation](../../docs/explanation/index.md) |

| Look up a term you have seen but not understood | [Glossary](../../docs/reference/glossary.md) |


# How the documentation is organized

The four sections answer different kinds of question, so it is worth knowing which one you are in.

**Getting Started** (this section) teaches through a worked example. Read it in order, once.

**[How-To Guides](../../docs/how-to/index.md)** are task recipes for people who already know the concepts. Each answers one "how do I…?" question and assumes you do not want a tutorial.

**[Explanation](../../docs/explanation/index.md)** covers why RECAP works the way it does: the data model, the query and loading model, authentication and authorization, and the REST architecture. Read it when a design decision seems surprising and you want the reasoning.

**[Reference Guides](../../docs/reference/index.md)** and the generated [API Reference](../../reference/index.md) are lookup material: the glossary, server configuration fields, CLI flags, and exact signatures. Nobody reads these front to back.


# Going remote

The code you wrote in this tutorial works unchanged against a shared server. Only the client construction changes:

``` python
# Local
client = RecapClient.from_sqlite("experiment.db")

# Remote
client = RecapClient.from_url("https://recap.example.org", api_key="...")
```

Everything after that line, namespaces, builders, and queries, behaves the same. See [Set Up a RECAP Server](../../docs/how-to/setup-recap-server.md) to run one, or [Authenticate a Remote Client](../../docs/how-to/use-remote-authentication.md) to connect to one that already exists.
