Rahat ChowdhuryA review of web3 learning tools for devs
Note: None of the companies or projects mentioned in this blog post are paying me to write this. Would be cool though lol. Recently announced my full time dive into the web3 space and a few folks have been asking me what kind of roadmap or resources I used to get into the space. I’ll open with an honest and maybe brutal truth: anyone who tells you there is a definitive list of things you can do to just become a dev in this space is probably feeding you some bullshit. That said, there are a lo...

Warning: Jumbled up thoughts about a product I may or not build. None of this is organized and may or may not make sense! I did this with an earlier post on a web3 music platform. I’ve been wanting to take any ideas I have for dApps and jot them down in case I move forward in building them or someone else can pick it up and bring it to life. This is a live writing things down as I think about the idea exercise. You aren’t reading it live but I’m thinking of it live and just jotting it down to...
Rahat ChowdhuryWeb3 Music Project Brain-dump
A couple of days ago I wrote up a little thread on Twitter about an idea I had on a web3 music project. This is an exercise in fleshing out the idea a little more in case I decide to build it out on a stream or on my own elsewhere. Here is the initial tweet thread if you want to see my first set of thoughts: https://twitter.com/Rahatcodes/status/1458594408413245440 So the idea came to me based on some of my own experiences. I was a very mediocre rapper once upon a time and used to pay a third...

Earlier this year I wrote about effective learning with tutorials. You can view that here:
https://community.codenewbie.org/rahat/effective-learning-with-tutorials-2ji8
Now I wanted to map out a way to use tutorials and other resources to help folks interested in learning about Web3 and the Crypto space. A lot of this is what I've been doing and different resources I've been using so far will be mentioned below!
First off it's important to learn the fundamentals of Solidity. If you're coming from JavaScript this is going to be a little easier as Solidity shares a lot of similarities in syntax with JavaScript. I felt at home pretty quickly thanks to the similar syntax! My favorite resource for going over the fundamentals is Crypto Zombies!
This is a fun and interactive way to learn Solidity by building a Zombie production factory. You're given examples of what you need to accomplish and then you use the in browser IDE to solve specific challenges which may include writing contracts, functions, interacting with other existing contracts and more.
A great way to solidify your Solidity (heh) is to reuse that code and build something else. You can do something as simple as changing the variables to represent giant killer robots instead of zombies. This will still force you to go through the code and understand which variables and what parts of the code do certain things and help dive deeper into it. If you're into video based learning I've started doing some bite sized solidity fundamentals on this new free course I'm slowly building and releasing:
https://www.30secondsolidity.com/
Once you've learned a little about Solidity I highly recommend checking out the smart contract course at Buildspace!
I took the free course which is a mix of live sessions and text based learning and was able to get my first Dapp deployed on a testnet!
Check out more of what I learned from there on this post:
https://dev.to/rahat/real-time-react-fun-on-the-blockchain-27jg
Similar to what I mentioned with crypto zombies I changed up the project to be something I enjoy. Instead of the project being built in the course I took what I learned and built a pokemon battle simulation. This again forced me to really go through the code and understand what was going on.
I then branched off and dived into Real time interactions with React and the Blockchain which was not part of the class. It's awesome to take what you learn somewhere and add new things to it like the real time functionality in this case. Build on top of your tutorials and add new features to them to really explore new things!
There are more intermediate resources once you have gotten these things down that I'm currently using and will be sharing more of in a follow up post. Would love to see what you all are working on with Solidity! Hit me up on twitter and let me know!
