A few years ago, Scott Young became famous for completing his MIT challenge. The goal? Complete the MIT Computer Science curriculum in one year.

He succeeded in demonstrating that conventional learning is much slower than necessary. With a high degree of motivation and the proper learning techniques, learning can be radically accelerated.

He eventually shared his strategies in a book, Ultralearning. I was fascinated. I experimented with his methods in my free time, achieving great success in applying his methods to skills such as drawing.

This was only scratching the surface. I knew that if I ever needed to rapidly gain skills in my career, this would be my playbook.

Ultralearning tactics can work for part-time projects, but they work best for full-time endeavors.

When I decided to become a web3 developer, I knew that I would need to gain a lot of skills in a short period of time. I saved up enough money to support myself while I learned. Now, I am engaging in a full-time Ultralearning project.

There are many web3 ecosystems active in the world today. They each require specific skills. I chose to focus on the Ethereum ecosystem, which revolves around the Solidity programming language.

My goal is to reach junior dev programming proficiency within six months. I will be sharing links to my programs on my GitHub page.

In the months leading up to my Ultralearning project, I gathered a ton of programming resources for mastering Solidity. Going forward, I will be publishing regular updates on the project. In these updates, I will share the learning resources I will have used and programs I will have written.
