if you're interested in learning aboutblockchain this is reset with aithe course for youPatrick Collins is a veteran softwareengineer and longtime Finance industrydeveloper be sure to leave a commentwith something you learned from thiscourse welcome to the ultimate soliditysmart contract and blockchain developercourse JavaScript Edition we recentlydid a version of this video in Pythonthat has over two million views rightnow making it the most watched smartcontract tutorial on the planet we'velearned a T from doing that first courseand if you love the Python languagedefinitely be sure to check that one outwe've taken all the learnings we've gotfrom making that first course wrapped itup and put it into this JavaScript videofor you if you're looking to get startedin web 3 blockchain smart contracts orany of these terms this is the coursefor you and it's for anybody andeverybody no matter your experiencelevel in programming or in blockchainideally you know a little bit ofJavaScript before starting this but ifyou don't know worries we will help youalong the way and in case you do want tolearn a little bit of JavaScript beforestarting here there are some fantasticcourses on free code Camp to learn morebut you absolutely don't have to andreally any experience with anyobjectoriented programming language willwork great so if you're brand new tocoding or if you're brand new toblockchain this is exactly where youshould be and if you already know a lotabout blockchain or coding this coursewill give you even more deepfundamentals on the space so welcome tothe edge of the rabbit hole so for thoseof you who don't know my name is PatrickCollins I'm a smart contract engineerdeveloper Advocate on the Chain leagprotocol and I live and breathe smartcontracts I also make YouTube videos onmy own channel medium Twitter threadsand more teaching people about smartcontracts about coding and about thisnew technology I love helping developerslearn grow and learn about this newadvent that's blockchain and smartcontracts and I'll be taking you on yourjourney to becoming a blockchain expertand wizard of the smart contractdeveloping world and even if you don'twant to become a developer the firstsection our blockchain Basics will giveyou a lot of fundamental knowledge abouthow blockchains and smart contracts evenwork I am so excited for you to be hereand I hope you enjoy the journey this isa data dump passion educational projectof everything I've learned working inthis space and I 100% certain that ifyou follow along you'll come out theother side of this armed with theknowledge to be a positive force in thisincredible industry solidity and smartcontract developers are massively indemand with an average salary of beingaround$145,000 a year there is massiveEconomic Opportunity from learning thiscourse and this technology has theability to revolutionize everything thatwe interact with and you can be one ofthe Pioneers ushering in this new age inour courses we already have a trackrecord of giving people theseeducational needs and sending them intotheir careers in the blockchain andsmart contract space and we are going togive you all of The Cutting Edge toolsand how to use them including workingwith things like defy nfts Dows erc20upgradable smart contracts and morewe're going to teach you the skillsnecessary to build defi applicationslike a synthetics and compound billiondooll decentralized applications ormassively successful nft projects likelike Crypt punks or board Apes Dows likemaker Dow or developer Dow and any ofthe amazing things you've seen in thecryptocurrency world in learning theseskills you will have all these economicopportunities at your fingertips and theability to be a Pioneer in completelychanging the way we interact with eachother in a fundamental way buildingdecentralized smart contractapplications is building a world that'smore accountable a world withunbreakable promises a faster moreefficient financially free world acollaborative Community combining theprowess of philosophy and Technologyinto a new system we'll learn more aboutthe purpose and the value of smartcontracts and decentralized applicationsin lesson one of this course and whythey're so exciting finish this courseand you'll be ready so again I want togive a major thank you and a major kudosto you because you've taken the firststep to enter this realm so welcome toweb 3 welcome to the blockchain welcometo Smart contracts and I'll see you atthe bottom of the rabbit hole so let'sjump into some best practices for thiscourse so that you can learn mosteffectively and learn with this courseas best youcan you do not want to skip this partit'll help you solve 80% of your issuenow while going through this course be100% certain to follow along with theGitHub repository associated with thiscourse we have a link in the descriptionof this video for you to absolutelyclick on follow along have open in a tabas you're doing this because it has allthe code samples timestamps a communityto interact with and more it is going tobe your Bible for watching this courseand yes we have a discussions tab thisdiscussions tab is a place where you canask questions engage with otherdevelopers who are going through thiscourse as well get some help and Etc besure to say hello and meet otherlike-minded individuals like yourselvesnow blockchain and smart contracts movereally quickly and things are constantlybeing updated so to make sure you'realways up to date with the latest when Iopen up some documentation try to openup the documentation for yourself aswell and maybe even have the code samplenext to you and as you're writing codebe sure to refer back to make sure thatyou are keeping pace and that you havethe most up-to-date samples sometimestechnology might change and there mightbe a way to do something a little bitbetter so we have this file calledchronological updates be sure that thisis the first place to check when you runinto an issue to see if maybe somethingwas updated that you missed it'll bechronologically ordered so it's easierto find updates basically this is to sayalways refer back to the GitHub repofirst and if you do find a mistake orsomething isn't working the way youexpected jump into the conversationleave a discussion leave an issue askquestions
