Useful Web3 materials [1/5]
<p>I have been recently asked to share some useful resources for someone who wants to get into the Web3 space.</p> <p>I know that the transition from Web2 might be overwhelming (it certainly was for me). So I think the best thing that I could do is listing 5 useful sources at a time. Also, I think it makes sense to add the categories/tags of [Beginner], [Advanced/Mid] and [Expert] to mark the difficulty.</p> <p>This idea come to me as I was learning new technologies. All the resources tend to be focused on beginner material and there is little to none of the more advanced concepts. This is why I want to build that system of marking different topics with the experience level that is related to them and the difficulty. This way people could skip to the part that they are most interested in — more junior people could skip the advanced concepts to learn the fundamentals and experts could skip the fundamentals in order to only look at the advanced topics.</p> <p>This article is for <em>[Beginners]</em>. However, soon enough there will be follow up articles that will target the more advanced audience.</p> <p>I want to also state which platforms/tools are free and which require you to pay.</p> <ol> <li> <a href="https://cryptozombies.io/">CryptoZombies</a> [Free] — CryptoZombies is an online platform that offers people with step-by-step lessons about Solidity. I have personally used it and I enjoyed the interface and the UX that it offers. The lessons are well explained and gamified. There are different levels and you pass them as you construct Solidity contracts. (There are also hints and lengthy descriptions that you could use to better understand the best practices and why you need a certain concepts)</li> <li> <a href="https://remix.ethereum.org/">Remi</a>x [Free] — Online IDE for Solidity contracts (I recently saw that there is an option for desktop, but honestly I haven’t tried it yet). Remix provides you with an interface to even deploy and test out your own contracts.</li> <li> <a href="https://www.udemy.com/">Udemy</a>/<a href="https://www.coursera.org/">Coursera</a> [Paid] — There are plenty of courses on the topic. Unfortunately, it is extremely hard to filter out the noise and find the best one for you. It also depends on your skills and previous experience in programming. For this reasons I prefer not to make recommendations. However, if you are a beginner and you are looking for structured information to get you started, those platforms are a great start.</li> <li> <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/">CoinMarketCap</a> [Free/Paid] — CoinMarketCap is a website that provides data and analytics on the cryptocurrency market. The platform tracks the prices, market capitalizations, and trading volumes of various cryptocurrencies and provides real-time and historical data on their performance.
