The Advanced Photon Source at Argonne National Laboratory is now providing researchers with high‐brilliance undulator radiation from below 1 keV to beyond 100 keV. All technical facilities and components are operational and have met design specifications. Fourteen research teams, with responsibility for 40 beamlines on the APS experiment hall floor, are currently installing beamline instrumentation or actively taking data. An overview is presented for the first operational year of the Advanced Photon Source. Emphasis is on the performance of accelerators and insertion devices, as well as early scientific results and future plans.
