Sumario:The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and the four LHC Detectors, ATLAS, CMS, LHCb, and ALICE, started regular operation in November 2009. Since then, proton-proton collisions at 0.9 TeV, 2.35 TeV, and 7 TeV were measured. The development of the LHC and detector performance, in particular of the ATLAS detector, in the first months of continuous running is reported. Furthermore, the first physics measurements of charged particle production are presented, together with first results for W and Z boson production. Eventually, prospects for the 2010/11 run as regards Standard Model measurements and searches for Higgs bosons and super-symmetric particles are given.
