I wonder how many of you would agree when I say that we have an amazing community on Twitter of Web3 enthusiasts. I find it extraordinary that everyone keeps on sharing their knowledge as they learn.
On Twitter, we can find Web3 roadmaps, Solidity tips, advice on how to become an auditor and so much more material written and shared by our peers.
I must say I have my browser organized by group tabs and in each of them I have pending articles to read, Youtube videos to watch, platforms to practice solidity and security and I have found this approach super helpful in order to gather the best material and make it easier to go through it.
To be fair, so far is going great as I am learning quicker than I have ever learned anything. So…
Why did I pay for a Smart Contract Hacking course?
My first step into Blockchain was through an online DeFi Course (I wrote about it in my previous post “New in Blockchain? Don’t start from learning Solidity. Learn first about DeFi”) and my experience through it was very satisfactory and it helped me understand which is the right way for me that made it worth it for me. So, here are a few points why, from my experience, it is worth joining an online course:
- What’s better than roadmaps tweets and recommendations? A unique course syllabus with the most important topics and a list of videos/classes organized from which you can just go through without wondering which one you should tackle first.
- It gets me engaged because first of all I paid for it and second because I have so much to learn still and this way I have someone to explain things to me. A contact point.
- I am a competitive person, so, studying together with other people triggers this competitive vein in me that makes me want to be the best.
- The community that gets created together with the course is a huge support and motivation to keep going. As I said, I am barely a beginner, so there are lots of people that know so much more than me who ask very nice questions in the classes and chats.
- The practice is provided only for the people participating in the course. Having experienced people creating material only for us it makes us stand out from the crowd.
Now, can you actually become the best without taking advantage of such courses? Yes, but using these opportunities will help increase the speed and effectiveness to learn the right things from the right places.
All said. Now just wish me luck, I will need it to manage to hack all those Smart Contracts from the provided exercises!
UPDATE: I have managed to get a $50 discount for anyone who would be interested in joining the course. Use this referral link to purchase the course and let’s join me in this web3 security journey.
As always I believe that sharing my journey in web3 can potentially be helpful for other people starting. If you are in such a moment make sure to follow me here on Medium and on my Twitter account https://twitter.com/TheBlockChainer
