Ask HN: Resources to get into Web3

8 points by enthucutlet 4y ago ↗ HN

Sort of buying into the hype, want to see what the whole thing is about. While the primary use case of web3 is still scams, it does seem useful as an alternative to big tech monopolies.

What resources would you recommend to a fullstack web2 developer to learn more about web3? Hopefully something hands on, project driven.

or is it just more tech monopiles?

A lot of the biggest smart contract platforms have a lot of insider and public auction ownership.

THIS!. 0-60 in less than 60 minutes. All you need is some peristence and familiarity with the Node/React eco-system and you have a fairly well developed curriculum built around an excellent community of learners. Generally find that the Web3 community to be extremely friendly and open to beginners.
