A curated list of free, high quality, on-demand resources for learning & building web3 & blockchain applications, with a focus on independent creators. In addition to educational resources, I’ve included links to various resources like DAOs, grants programs, networks, tools, and protocols.

Curated by Nader Dabit in response to a large number of requests. These resources have already helped thousands of developers land full time jobs in web3. This is not comprehensive of the entire ecosystem and is instead meant to get you up and running as quickly and easily as possible without becoming overwhelmed with the countless resources available.
