Welcome fellow hackers! If you're here, then you're Getting Started with Smart Contract Development, where no prior coding experience is really needed. But having a technical mindset will help a lot.

• the tutorial will guide you through building a very basic smart contract – that’s all you need to get you started.

• you’ll be using the Remix browser IDE, a safe development environment to learn the steps to deploy your smart contract and interact with it, as if you were on a live blockchain, such as Ethereum.

• take your time to learn what’s going on with all those moving parts – they will prove invaluable in your future development journey.

Take note - we have lots of in-depth learning resources built into the lesson, including the most important basics of Solidity and an intro to blockchain. Throughout the lesson, you’ll find interactive quizzes. Make sure you are testing yourself on these first, before rushing to the forum.

So let your curiosity enhance your wisdom, and build yourself a reputation to match. That way you can shine, when you share with others over here on DeveloperDAO.Peeranha.io

• as a next step, we can recommend that you Build a Basic NFT with a full suite of developer tooling, and more. A stepping stone to tiering those NFTs, learning how to write automated tests for your contract, and finally building a front end so the rest of the world can interact with them. The whole works!

• alternatively, go down our Python track, or the ERC20 route using Foundry as your development framework. The world is your oyster!
