The Web3 Rust Course NEAR Smart Contracts Web Development

This course will teach you not only fundamentals for Web3 and decentralization, but entry level coding and Web Development in a clear project driven way from scratch, adhering to employable skill expectation and the best practices you need. You will learn all the key fundamentals as well as advanced concepts and related topics to turn you into an entry level Web Developer prepared for the NEAR Grant Programs as well as the NEAR University level placements and programs. It’s up to you if you wish to move directly into the community after this course or continue to learn and prepare yourself for an exciting new journey ahead.

This is a succinct and practical course because we deep dive into the key important things you need to know and learn to read and authenticate blockchain code, decentralized networks with smart contracts for minting and transferring tokens and so much more!

No matter if you know nothing about Blockchain and NEAR and Rust or if you already got some basic Web Developerknowledge(not required – the flexibility on how to navigate through the course is included inside), you will get tons of useful NEARbased and Smart Contract information and knowledge out of this course!

Our goal with this course is to teach you the working skills you need to build your own Smart Contracts with Rust, get a job in the blockchain space whether technical or non technical, or innovate the world at your own choosing with your new found powers. With these skills you can apply directly for NEAR grants or enter the NEAR Academy and University to build a path that can lead you to jobs, use it in your own projects or simply enhance your portfolio as a developer or community growth manager – whatever your goal is: This course will take you there!

The world is shifting more and more towards learning and working at home. This is an opportunity for you to start learning the most in demand skills, showcase those Web Development skills, and gain the experiences you need to develop your passion into something real.

And in case if you are wondering if you need any experience to get started –

You do not need any web development or programming knowledge to get started!

This course requires zero prior knowledge to get started! Some basic web development skills including Javascript along with Solidity or Rust would definitely move you through the course at a much faster pace than others, however, this course includes introductory sections (they are purely optional) so that we all move through the key lessons together regardless our skill level!

Please see the full curriculum, the free preview videos and whenever you鈥檙e ready

Looking forward to seeing you in the lessons!
