1. What is web3? (Developer Path) π»

Web3 is decentralization.

2. How does web3 work? π»
Currently, when you connect to a website, you are connecting your web browser to a webserver.
All of the code you write is stored on that central web server.
With web3... it's different. Data is stored on the blockchain instead.

3. The challenge of web3 π»
So the challenge of learning web3 is figuring out how to work with the blockchain.
For example, let's say you make a website. You already know how to make it normally.
Now you have to learn to add web3 functionality to your website using blockchain

@LearnWeb3DAO 8. Join a development group π»
The fastest way to grow your web3 skills is to interact with people who are grinding web3.
I co-founded a group built just for that. π οΈ
We've had many people find web3 jobs in the group. π

@LearnWeb3DAO 9. Download libraries & frameworks π»
Here is a list of things you'll need to download (and why):
Node.js/NPM - Runs JavaScript
Hardhat - Useful framework
MetaMask - Your Ethereum wallet
Ethers.js - Connects sites to blockchain
Visual Studio Code - Where you write code

The two main languages you'll need for blockchain development on Etheruem are:
Solidity = Make smart contracts. π
JavaScript = Interact with smart contracts. π
You can learn solidity in the developer group I mentioned above (@LearnWeb3DAO).

@LearnWeb3DAO 11. Build projects π»
The next thing I would do is build some easy projects.
I made a thread of 4 projects you can finish in less than a week.

@LearnWeb3DAO 12. Network + Events π»
Unfortunately, we are in a tough market. So finding jobs is harder than it used to be.
That's why getting yourself out there is important. Make sure you are:
- Building in public
- Attending hackathons
- Attending meet-ups

Still, now is the PERFECT time to up-skill.

@LearnWeb3DAO 15. Start-up overview πΊ(1/2)
In general, I'd say to have a successful start-up, you need to:
- Find a problem to solve β
- Form team β
- Build solution β
- Build community/users β
- Fundraise β
- Run the company β
You can do extra things too, like join an incubator.

@LearnWeb3DAO 15. Start-up overview πΊ(2/2)
In my experience, the main pain points for fellow founders are:
1. Forming a team
2. Building community/users
3. Fundrasing
So I will address these topics in this thread. If you want more, let me know in the comments

@LearnWeb3DAO 15. Building a team (1/2) πΊ
You will likely not have all the skills required to make your company work by yourself.
That's why finding a co-founder is important.
I would recommend attending hackathons. Having other people work on your idea can lead to great things

@LearnWeb3DAO 16. Growing a community (1/3) πΊ
This part depends on your buisness model. Are you B2B? B2C?
If your product requires general consumers, then you need to learn how to:
1) Build trust
2) Grow a community
Both of these tasks are easier if you learn Social Media

@LearnWeb3DAO 6. Growing a community (2/3) πΊ
In-order to get startedβ you need to find where your userbase exists. Are they on Twitter? Twitch?
Are your clients IRL? If so, instagram is great!
You need to join THEIR community, contribute, be helpful, and build trust.

@LearnWeb3DAO 6. Growing a community (3/3) πΊ
Once you GIVEβ and are trusted. It's much easier to grow a community around your product.
Remember to convey your value clearly, and start marketing your product on relevant social media. Focus on building personal connections. Start small.

After you get funding, you will be managing employees.
Therefore, it's impartive you learning how to be an executive.
I would recommend reading "The Great CEO Within"
