Hello friends,
Welcome to this iHateReading newsletter. Read directly on website
Well, I always worry about covering all the domains of software development in my newsletter. I even try to put things is simple words so that non-developers in this subscribers list will also be able to understand at least the nuances.
Let's begin with Web3 today because I'ven't talked about anything related to web3 app development and surprisingly I have been working in the web3 domain for the past 2 years.
All about Web3 || Blockchain
When I was entering into web3 domain the first question as a developer was what's the application, I read tonnes of blogs then back, I am taking about 2 years ago and recently got this blog on 10 Unusual Blockhain applications.
I started the blockchain development journey by simply reading about the basics and developing a small few-hour project.
But after researching and reading the basics I found the technology under the hood is different and that doesn't affect much on frontend or client side, more often the changes are in the backend domain and of course if you writing smart contract then you have to switch to solidity as the programming language.
Here is the basic roadmap for blockchain development ,https://roadmap.sh/blockchain
Once you get the basics my advice is to create a small project using Moralis to understand the concepts well.

Some of the most used npm packages in web3 are the following ones
my personal react npm module for web3 provides tonnes of hooks and features to develop easily, Wagmi.
Web3 for backend development needs solidity to get started, here is the introduction.
Truffle and Hardhat both are quiet and commonly used packages

Frontend Roadmap Template
I've shared quite a few times on this newsletter itself as one can find this on our website iHateReading as well.
Frontend roadmap template, I am updating this template from time to time, adding projects, few new resources, links and so on. It's been an year since I've created this template so far this have made 100+ sales in 50+ countries.
I am not leaving this anywhere in between and if everything goes well I will create a dedicated website for this as well so that everyone in future can have a look and learn frontend.
Let's not make it boring over here, see you in the next friday
