If you want to program just for the joy of creating, LiveView will be an excellent opportunity for you. This programming model keeps your brain firmly on the server and lets you explore one concept at a time. Layering on graphics makes this kind of exploratory programming almost magical.

Programmers learn by writing code, and that’s exactly how this course will work. We’ll work on a project together as if we’re a fictional game company. You’ll write lots of code, starting with small tweaks of generated code and building up to major enhancements that extract common features with components.

As you build the application, you’ll encounter more complexity. A distributed dashboard will show a real-time view of other users and processes. You’ll even build a game from scratch—because that’s the best way to learn how to layer the most sophisticated LiveView applications.

## Installing and configuring Surface

We know that Surface provides syntactic sugar for defining and rendering components, along with type checking and a few other niceties. Now it’s time to build our very first `Surface` component and explore these features. To do so, we started by adding the `Surface` dependency to our `pento/mix.exs` file, like this:
