Ready to master Solana blockchain development? You’ve come to the right place!
Blockchain technology is the most disruptive force in years, and amongst the various blockchains is the shining star that is Solana. It’s faster, cheaper, and better for the environment than both Bitcoin and Ethereum. These factors mean Solana is growing exponentially despite being so new, and make it likely to reach mass adoption.
Large tech companies and start-ups alike cannot hire developers who understand blockchain technologies fast enough, but there are so few resources published to help you truly understand what blockchains are used for, let alone build apps with them.
That’s the purpose of this course: to be the best resource online for learning about Solana, the blockchain, and how to build apps with these cutting-edge technologies.
By the end of this course, you’ll:
- Be an expert Solana and Web3 developer
- Be proficient at creating your own decentralised applications from scratch
- Make millions from NFTs? Build a decentralised version of Uber? Create your own bank? Up to you!
In this course you’ll cover:
- What the Solana blockchain is, how it works, and why it’s so incredible
- Deep dive into Solana development using Rust, JavaScript, and the command line
- Full projects that will solidify your skills in DeFi (decentralised finance), NFTs (non-fungible tokens), dapps (decentralised apps), Web3, and more
If you want to take advantage of the cutting-edge Solana blockchain while it’s still new and rapidly growing, this course is for you. All you need is beginner level programming experience.
What is Solana?
Solana is a cryptocurrency like Bitcoin or Ethereum. What differentiates it from the rest it is its speed, cost-effectiveness, and eco-friendliness, and these make Solana poised to overtake both Bitcoin and Ethereum in popularity and adoption. What’s more, is that Solana makes it easy for developers like you to create decentralised applications focused on transferring value from one party to another. It even supports *programs* which are pieces of code that run on the blockchain, and which can replace your bank/real estate agency/ticket selling company/accountant/witch doctor.
