Day-0: NEAR Certified Developer (NCD)
...8 things to ponder
Recently an acquaintance of mine asked if I would be open to taking a quick course on a Web3 protocol and by the end of the week get certified on their stack.
I love learning, especially all-things Web3, so I decided to check it out.
Today is a quick summary of my day-0 experience.
Basically getting myself oriented with setup, overview, what to expect, faq ...before the course begins.
Given Web3 requires a new mental model to comprehend some of the concepts, the material for this day is focussed around getting one to un-learn some old(er) bits and learn some new(er) bobs.
Have to say, there is something for everyone ...whether you're a text based learner, visual learner, auditory learner, and heaps of bonus stuff.
There was this one resource called NEAR Academy ...which I just wanted to gloss over, but I ended up finishing it and it covered the following:
- Why should you care?
- Key concepts of Web3
- What is NEAR?
- NEAR Environment
- On NEAR Contracts
- Deploy the Meme Contract
- Build your interface
- What next
