Course Description

Become a smart contract developer and learn one of the most in-demand skills of this year!

100 days, 1 hour per day, learn to build through projects, this is how you will learn Solidity smart contract development.

With over 100,000 students taught, this is considered the most comprehensive and straightforward introduction to Solidity smart contract development course ever created.

Whether you have never programmed, already know the basic syntax, or want to dive deeper into web3 development, this course is for you!

With over 40 lectures, more than 5 hours of videos, and projects, this comprehensive course gives you the foundational skills needed to move into more advanced smart contract development and security concepts.

Even if you have zero programming experience, this course is the first step to take you from beginner to professional. Here's why:

  • The world’s leading solidity smart contract developers and educators in web3 teach the course.
  • Continuously updated to teach you the latest tools and technologies used at large companies and protocols.
  • The curriculum was developed by researchers over 2 years, with comprehensive student testing, feedback, and reviews.
  • We've taught over 200,000 students how to write secure smart contracts, and many have changed their lives by becoming professional web3 developers or starting their protocols.
  • You'll save over $10,000 by enrolling and getting free access to the industry-leading web3 development course.
  • The course is constantly updated with new content, projects, and modules!

We'll take you step-by-step through engaging video tutorials and teach you everything you need to know to succeed as a Solidity developer.

Project-based, the Solidity smart contract fundamentals course includes quizzes, tests, exercises, and assignments as well as 3 projects to start creating your Solidity smart contracts portfolio!

Use Solidity through real-world examples, such as working with testnet, testing your codebase, and creating a front end to connect your wallet and interact with your smart contracts.

This course will teach you Solidity in a practical manner. Every lecture has a full coding screencast and written lesson to learn how it fits you best!

We will start by helping you get familiar with Solidity using Remix to help you set up your Solidity smart contract development environment. Regardless of your operating system, whether its Linux, MacOS, or Windows, we've got you covered.

We cover a wide variety of topics, including:

  • Introduction to Solidity
  • Introduction to smart contracts development
  • Introduction to smart contracts deployment
  • Introduction to blockchain oracles
  • Introduction to smart contracts testing

By the end of this course, you will be ready to become a Solidity smart contract developer!

You will get lifetime access to over 40 lectures, corresponding resources, and repositories!

So what are you waiting for? Learn Solidity smart contract development and kickstart your career as a web3 developer!
