The @solana eco-system is growing at a stunning speed:
- Number of developers increased by ~5x in the last quarter
- 4th blockchain by deployed contracts
- Jobs openings are exploding
As a web3 developer, ignoring it is reckless.
8 resources to become a Solana developer 👇
@solana 1/ Learn Rust - The Rust Book
First you need to learn the language
Written by @steveklabnik and carolnichols and published by Rust-lang, is probably the most comprehensive and up-to-date resource to learn Rust.
doc.rust-lang.org
@solana @steveklabnik 2/ Intro to Rust
If you need a video, this will give you an high-level overview of how Rust works - complementary to the Rust book:

@solana @steveklabnik 3/ Learn Cargo
Cargo is like npm but for Rust - is a package manager, plus will compile, build, run, and create boilerplates for you.
Here's the cargo book with way more than what you need to know:
doc.rust-lang.org
@solana @steveklabnik 4/ Solana Cookbook
With a broad understanding of Rust, you can start having fun with Solana.
You guessed that - they also have a book, with all you need to know to get started developing your first programs (Solana's contracts):
solanacookbook.com
@solana @steveklabnik 5/ Solana crash course
Because the Cookbook might be a bit confusing, here's a free YouTube crash course that will help you gain the knowledge to better understand the book - read the book.

@solana @steveklabnik 6/ Solana fullstack blog
Can't make a thread without mentioning @dabit3 - here's his amazing post about Solana Fullstack development.

@solana @steveklabnik @dabit3 7/ Learn Anchor
Anchor will help you spin upy your programs (Solana smart contracts) spinning up your boilerplates, test them, etc.
Here's their book!

@solana @steveklabnik @dabit3 8/ Develop and Deploy with Anchor
As always, here's a video that gives you an high level view of the Anchor library:

@solana @steveklabnik @dabit3 8/ Learn Metaplex
Defining themselves as the "NFT standard for Solana" - Metaplex
Metaplex is a collection of tools, smart contracts, and more designed to make the process of creating and launching NFTs easier:

@solana @steveklabnik @dabit3 9/ Bonus! Deploy and Scale on Solana for free
@AlchemyPlatform already has the largest free tier in web3. But it was cool to do something special for Solana:
The first 500 Solana developers will have free Alchemy access through 2022 🔥
