- | The first program you should create (or obtain from another decker) is a programming suite. This will help you with all your future programming needs, including creating higher rating programming suites. | ||

While the programs that you start with are enough for early Matrix missions, there are other programs that you may wish to pick up sooner rather than later, such as Evaluate to help with finding paydata and Defuse because some paydata may have data bombs. Note that the Evaluate program decays over time (to reflect an evolving paydata market) so the decker should learn how to create, design, and program it instead of buying it. | While the programs that you start with are enough for early Matrix missions, there are other programs that you may wish to pick up sooner rather than later, such as Evaluate to help with finding paydata and Defuse because some paydata may have data bombs.

In the longer term, the cyberterminal design and the 5 program design skills are all useful. They aren't needed for rating 6-7 programs that you'd initially be looking at, but they do help reduce the amount of time needed to program/ | In the longer term, the cyberterminal design and the 5 program design skills are all useful.

+ | Building a custom cyberdeck takes days of IRL time. Before you consider investing the time to upgrade to a custom cyberdeck, it's a good idea to complete the Young Decker Quest series that is available at 200 rep. The puzzles found within are similar to all matrix autoruns, the reward for completing the quest will help you build a custom deck, and this may be a good time to consider whether you want to create a custom character using what you now know of how decking works. | ||
