Welcome.

Today, the world is brimming with top-notch resources for budding blockchain developers. Despite the abundance, finding tailored recommendations based on personal interests remains challenging. This guide aims to bridge that gap, offering a curated compilation of the resources I've discovered over time. Plus, I'll share my insights on how to leverage these materials to fast-track your understanding and skills, helping you delve into blockchain development with confidence.

While many blockchain ecosystems exist, this guide primarily revolves around the Ethereum ecosystem due to its massive developer base and widespread application usage. If your curiosity extends beyond Ethereum, especially towards non-EVM compatible platforms or those not layered on Ethereum, I'd direct you to the individual documentation or community-driven guides of those specific ecosystems. Some notable non-EVM blockchains include Solana (Rust/Anchor), Polkadot (Rust/Substrate), Cosmos, Terra, among others. It's worth noting that many of these platforms are either already compatible with or are heading towards supporting the EVM stack through projects like Neon EVM for Solana, Moonbeam/Moonriver for Polkadot/Kusama, and EVMOS for Cosmos.

My vision for this guide is to evolve it into a shared knowledge repository, a public good that benefits all. To achieve this, I'm keen on inviting the broader blockchain developer community to offer their invaluable feedback, editorial suggestions, and insights to elevate this guide to unparalleled excellence.
