I'll leave it to @tlberglund to point out the correct use of hyphens or quotes on the getting-started piece and then I'll merge this :dog: with pleasure!
@tlberglund hyphen ping per above.
@matthewmccullough I can't identify a rule for this, but I'd have written it the way @randomecho did. And anyway, we all know how well language admits to rules, so in this case, we'll :ship: it his way. Merging. :)
In both cases what we're talking about here are compound adjectives which are generally hyphenated. As it is you've got one of them hyphenated and the other one not, which seems a little inconsistent. If it were entirely up to me, I'd hyphenate the second ("best-practices", or actually "best-practice") if only for consistency, but please go with whatever sounds best to you.
The rule on compound adjectives fits then under the current phrasing.
It just looked a little "off" having not really seen "getting started" and "best practice" used as adjectives prior to this.
Also going with the hyphen-less "best practices", but iffy on if "getting-started" needed that.
