## Content

DeFi development resourcesThis document pretends to be a comprehensive (and of course constantly updated and outdated) compilation of many sources I have been using since I started in crypto in 2016. Most of the content is in 🇬🇧English, but since we wanted to share the knowledge with the audience that comes from Latin America, we have collected some resources in 🇪🇸Spanish as well. We followed the awesome DeFi Developer Roadmap by Cia_Officer as the main guidance for completing this work.Feel free to share, make contributions, deletions and critics to this document.We are all here to learn and build! LeoAbout the compilooooors🇦🇷 Tobias, OG at 🇪🇸 DeFi_Latam and mastermind of Solidity Latam Shadowy Super-Coders.🇦🇷 LeoSagan🕶, OG researcher at Argenpool, OG dev at 🇪🇸 DeFi_Latam and editor of the present document.🇦🇷 Special mention to Lorena Fabris, who did an awesome work translating many articles from dev.to!How to start and not to failEvery time you want to read something, ten brand new (and interesting) resources appear. Blockchain universe evolves at 100x speed light, and that causes an enormous anxiety… So, how can you learn faster or at least you can feel a real progress? Perhaps something like the get things done method might help:- You want to learn, and don't know where to start. - Take 15 mins in the morning. - On a whiteboard or just a notepad, - Write it all down on a list, everything you want to learn. - Use those 15 mins to sort the items. - Mark them as critical, important, can wait, irrelevant. - Now: stick to the list. - Complete each task. The morning after, repeat the process. There are almost unlimited, countless resources. And it is getting worse because as you probably heard, we are early. But Cia_Officer published an excellent work that is really helpful:The DeFi Developer RoadmapINDEXESSENTIALS- Intro to development - Web development - General development resources LEARN- Official Ethereum tutorials - Learning platforms - DeFi learning - Solidity - dApp development - Security - Books - Paid courses - Youtube channels - The Rust language BUILD- Tools and samples - Challenges RESEARCH- EVM articles - Podcasts - NFT - L2 STAY UP-TO-DATE- News - Other resource compilations (like this one) ESSENTIALS🇬🇧 English language is a must, without it, there is a great chance of NGMI!Intro to development🇪🇸 Primeros pasos en programacionCS50's Introduction to Computer Science by The Harvard University🇪🇸 Aprende JavascriptLearn JSAprende JavaScript - Curso Completo desde Cero by FreeCodeCampWeb developmentFull stack JS course by The Odin ProjectNode.js / Express Course - Build 4 Projects by FreeCodeCampLearn React by ScrimbaReact JS Course for Beginners - 2021 Tutorial by FreeCodeCampReact Course - Beginner's Tutorial for React JavaScript Library 2022 by FreeCodeCampGeneral development resourcesPro GIT Book en españolCurso practico de GIT y Github desde ceroIntroduction to Github ActionsModern applications at AWSOfficial Ethereum TutorialsWhitepaperDeveloper docsDeveloper tutorialsLearning platformsCryptozombiesThe Ethernaut by OpenZeppelinBuildSpace: Build alongside other devsWeb3 University: Covering the fundamentals of web3 development: from writing Solidity, to minting NFTs, to building full-stack dAppsDeFi learning🇪🇸 Primeros pasos en finanzas descentralizadas por Evangelina Rodriguez MachadoWhat Is DeFi Composability?
