LearnWeb3 Stacks Developer Degree
Recorded: May 3, 2024 Duration: 0:56:39Space Recording
Full Transcription
Do not say anything, there's a weird section here happening.
Hello, hello, everybody.
Welcome.
Good morning, good evening, good day, wherever you may be tuning in from around the world
with us today.
We are going to get started here in just a minute, getting our speakers up on stage.
But as we do, I'm your host today, Kyle Ellicott, and this is your first time.
Again, welcome to this week's Crypto Internet Show.
It is our general series talking about everything stacks, the broader ecosystem, and building
on Bitcoin layers.
We have a very exciting and timely topic to discuss today around education and developers.
But before we get started, a big shout out.
If you are a builder or you're just excited about the Bitcoin ecosystem, you are contributing
to it in any capacity, this July, Bitcoin Builders Conference is back and we will be taking place
again in July in Nashville, BitcoinBuilders.io.
To learn more, get signed up, get an early ticket, make sure you sign yourself up if you want to
be a speaker and prepare for all the communication coming up and all the exciting additional
events that we'll have planned as well as that rolls out.
We got one more speaker to get up here on stage, but nonetheless, again, we are very excited
today to talk about LearnWeb3 and the new, very, very new, Stacks Developer degree.
And again, timely.
We're at the beginning of spring and summer graduation time, but we are constantly learning
or should always be constantly learning.
So why not to graduate one and start the next and begin your journey into the Bitcoin ecosystem
with the new Stacks Developer degree.
That said, Kenny, welcome up.
Just a quick intro for those who may not know you and some of your efforts at the Stacks
Foundation.
Hey, thanks, Kyle.
Yeah, I'm Kenny.
I'm the DevRel lead at the Stacks Foundation.
So I do a lot of community outreach, tutorials, workshops, documentation, pretty much anything I
can do to make the lives of developers building on Stacks easier and more enjoyable.
Awesome.
Thank you very much, Kenny.
And our very special guest today, the founder of LearnWeb3.
Hardik, welcome.
Short intro.
Hey, Kyle.
Great to meet you.
Hey, guys.
My name is Hardik.
So I'm one of the founders of LearnWeb3, as Kyle mentioned, been in the space for quite
some time and mostly like an engineering background.
But yeah, I switched to doing education full-time about two years ago.
And yeah, here we are.
Awesome.
All right.
Well, you're not getting off that easy.
So get ready.
We're going to talk more about the education side.
So Hardik, you've gone into education and have been for some time.
And what made you go into the Web3 side of education?
Yeah.
So I was sort of active in the Web3 space as a developer before.
Like I've been playing engineering roles in this space since around 2018, early 2018, something
like that.
But then we started LearnWeb3 around like early to mid-2022.
And at that point, when we started, it wasn't really meant to be like a company or even like
a big sort of project or anything.
It was literally I had somebody, a friend of mine who used to work at Google looking to
get into this space and, you know, wasn't really finding any resources that were, you know, quote
unquote good at the time.
And it ended up being like I had holidays at the time.
It was like Christmas holidays or something like December of 2021.
So I spent like a couple of weeks putting together some content for them.
And, you know, we just published it on Twitter afterwards.
Me and my co-founder posted it on Twitter that, hey, we put together this content, go check
it out.
And turns out like that was a real problem at the time, like in like three or four months
from that point, we had like 20,000 people learning with us.
So that was kind of crazy.
This was right around the time the sort of bear market was beginning.
So it was amazing to see how many devs were still interested in the space when, you know,
markets were all crashing every single day.
So from that point onwards, you know, I was at that point, I was working at a different company
in my protocol engineering position.
So we quit that, went full time on LearnWeb3.
And then ever since then, just been doing a lot of education.
That's very exciting.
And in terms of Web3 and LearnWeb3 as it is today, I'm looking at your website right now.
I mean, quote, become a next gen developer, end quote.
I mean, you guys are leading the charge on new frontiers, new areas.
What is LearnWeb3 today?
And why is it so prominent in this era of Web3 and the industry, not just of the Bitcoin
ecosystem, but all ecosystems across the industry?
Yeah, I think, you know, today, obviously, we've grown a lot over the last couple of years.
As of today, I think we have slightly over 200,000, like 220,000 something students who've
gone through us, who've taken our courses or degrees, things like that.
You know, one thing we focus on, we have focused on since the very early beginnings is we sort
of work as a almost public good, like all our education materials are free forever.
We've never charged for them in the past.
It's always free to students.
And we've, you know, built up this community of devs who've been working together.
Some of them have already gone through, been hired at amazing companies.
You know, they've achieved a lot of things.
And hearing those stories is always amazing.
But yeah, it's just a matter of, you know, have good quality content, make it all free,
get the devs and help them out as much as possible.
And the stories I hear from that, stories of students who've gone through, learned
through before, that's basically all the fuel we need to keep running.
And yeah, it's been insane.
Like we went from doing education to like today, we do a lot more things.
Like we also do like hackathons.
We do events.
We do bounties.
You know, we do a bunch of those things now.
And it's just a matter of, you know, onboarding the next million devs into the space across
all ecosystems.
All right, let's go down that path for just a second, because you brought up some good
additional services that you guys provide and feature.
So hackathons are awesome and exciting.
But how do you guys take the approach to hackathons when it comes to Web3?
Yes, I think, you know, my advice when it comes to, you know, we got a lot of new devs
asking questions about, you know, hey, I want to work full time in Web3.
How do we start?
So what I generally say is like courses or degrees that we have, they're kind of, you
know, top of the funnel.
Like that's the first thing you want to go and look at.
And they will help you to gain the understanding, teach you how to build in this space, cover
all the major concepts, you know, DeFi, NFTs, marketplaces, all these different things.
And then following that, after a certain point, you almost have to, you know, get out of tutorial
hell a little bit, where you don't want to just spend years and years just going through
every single course that is available.
Eventually, you want to, you know, start actually building real projects by yourself.
So, you know, hackathons are one way to do that.
The, you know, there's other ways you can contribute to existing open source projects, which we
also encourage and, you know, do things to sort of promote that within the community.
But, you know, hackathons historically have had for the hackers a very good success rate
in terms of, you know, I got my first job in this space through a hackathon many, many years
ago.
And many of our students from the past have gotten jobs in this space through hackathons
themselves.
And some are even just running their own companies now or their own startups, which is really
cool.
So, you know, it's just a matter of like, you start with education, you move on to sort
of contributing to open source or trying to do bounties.
And then you move on further to building in hackathons, you know, building real projects from scratch
and then further progress to, you know, at that point, it kind of splits off into like,
you might get a job, you might start your own startup, or you might, you know, get really
deeply ingrained into an ecosystem, maybe potentially get further grants and then build in that
ecosystem.
So you've seen all three paths happen in the past.
So, Hardik, we just had a question come through on the spaces, and I think it's pretty relevant
to the discussion we're having right now.
So I want to make sure I get it out is, you know, where does one start or where do you
recommend one begins their journey on LearnWeb3 if they are not yet a developer?
So looking to make the transition, not only to enter the industry, but also maybe to begin
their technical journey.
Where do they begin on LearnWeb3?
Hmm, if you're not coming from a programming background, unfortunately, I don't have a
great answer over there.
What we do is, if you look into, we have a lesson there, which is a very first lesson,
it's called Introduction to Programming.
We don't cover like basic programming fundamentals ourselves, because there's amazing resources
online already how to do that.
But we have a lesson titled Introduction to Programming that basically is my personal recommendation
on what sources I would recommend you go to start learning programming for the first time.
And at the moment, we say, like, okay, go through those if you're coming from a non-deaf background,
and then come back to us, dive deeper into specific sort of niches of the industry.
That's right.
I was going to recommend the exact same, looking at the course catalog that you have.
There's a ton of intro courses for those to just kind of get started, get up to speed,
and kind of maybe figure out where your journey wants to go.
Hardik, you also brought up bounties.
You know, this is something that's been talked about forever around the Web3 industry,
and it's starting to come back and have a little bit of a resurgence.
And I would love to understand how you as LearnWeb3, what your approach is with bounties,
and how people can get involved for bounties.
Yeah, so we see bounties are kind of like, you know, as you said, there have been many people
who've sort of tried bounties.
We're not the only one who do bounties in this space.
But our approach towards bounties has been to sort of cater to the students first,
in the sense that there are two big problems generally that happen with bounties.
Number one is sort of identifying where these opportunities exist.
Because, you know, there's bigger events like hackathons, where you have a bunch of sponsors
coming in, everybody has their own tech, and you sort of mix and match what you want to build on.
And bounties generally are a lot more specific, whereas like one specific organization or one
specific ecosystem is saying, I want this one very specific thing to be built out for us.
And we're able to, you know, give out a grant or pay out a bounty of up to this much.
And so the one problem, biggest problem there is discovery of these bounties.
And then the second biggest problem that sort of we identified in the space was sort of
payments taking a long time to actually happen.
And so like the process was very closed doors, not really clear on who's winning, why they're
winning.
And even if they do win, we've heard horror stories of, you know, like sometimes don't
get payments up to like a year after the results were announced.
So our bounty platform, it's basically like, you know, we work with our partners.
We've had actually Stacks bounties on there before.
So we've worked with our partners like Stacks to set up certain RFPs and things they'd want
to see built. And then it kind of works like a little mini hackathon where people come in,
they do their submissions and the funds are locked up in like an escrow account.
And as soon as a winner is chosen, the funds get released to the winners over there.
Um, so we've had, you know, over time, um, we had bounties in beta for quite some time and
then more recently, um, started making it a little bit more general, but we've had over
like a hundred thousand dollars, I think distributed in bounties over time, uh, over like a 95% completion
rate over there. So it seems to be going well, but yeah, there's like, um, yeah, it's interesting,
like in the bear market versus the bull market, seeing sentiment towards bounties, that's another
thing, but, um, it changes. I think these days it's a lot more interest to set up bounties now.
Perhaps. Absolutely. Uh, and, and Hardik, one more question. I promise I'm going to let you take a
break. Uh, what is the unique approach that you and the team take to education? You know, looking at all
these great courses that you have online, what makes it so unique, uh, for someone to start their
journey and begin their journey around, uh, learn web three. That's a very interesting question. I
think, you know, it's gonna, it's gonna sound like we're chilling a little bit and to some extent I am,
but it comes down to quality at the end of the day, you know, what, so we have like a few things we use
internally. So when we're working on like a new course or a new curriculum, we have a few things
we try to stick to internally. Um, number one is topics that we cover after like the very basic
introduction things, um, topics that we cover where we're actually building projects from scratch. We
sort of have this internal goal to always build brand new projects that don't really exist outside of
learn web three. So, you know, as like, if you go through our courses, you won't really see
the same world, you know, build an NFT or just build a normal token and build like a basic DAO or things
like that. We don't really do things like that. Maybe at the very introductory stages, we'll just go
high level. Okay. This is what a token is, but then we usually evolve to more like proper
applications that actually show something of value. Um, so I think like that sort of separates
something that sort of separates us a little bit from some of the other resources online where it's
very, um, you know, generic, uh, it's like very basic stuff, but I don't think in 2024, we need
another tutorial on how to build an NFT collection. So I think we have a big focus on sort of that.
And the second big focus we have is kind of making sure content is updated all the time where,
you know, the, when we originally started, one of the biggest issues was, um, if you try to Google,
you know, how to build XYZ, you'll find a lot of resources from years ago, which don't work anymore,
or the SDKs have had breaking changes, or, you know, the blockchains themselves have changed
significantly where the concept doesn't make sense anymore. So one thing we try to do a lot is keep
the content up to date, um, partially handled by the team ourselves. Like we try to make sure the
content is up to date, but then we also have, uh, you know, Learn Web 3 as a whole is a very gamified
system. So our students also occasionally would suggest changes to content if they notice, if they
notice that something is going out of date and then they get rewarded, uh, like we have like cosmetic
rewards and, um, things like that on the platform, which make it kind of gamified. So they'd suggest
changes and help us keep the content up to date, um, for those things. So I'd be hard pressed to say
that there's a more than maybe like two or three lessons at any given time, which might be out of
date. And if there are those two or three lessons as well, they're probably in the progress of being
updated as we speak.
Love it. Uh, Kenny, let's give Hardik a break for a minute. Uh, poor guy, uh, as, as a developer and
also someone who leads so many different development efforts, you know, what has you
excited from the developer side, uh, about a platform like Learn Web 3 and continuing your
journey, uh, into various ecosystems and, and just Web 3 in general.
Yeah. So Hardik touched a lot on kind of one of the reasons why I'm excited to work with Learn Web 3
and what the, what Stacks developers will get out of it, but it comes down to, I think a few main
things. One is a point that he already mentioned of just project uniqueness of there's, you know,
an endless amount of basic, how to make a custom token, how to make an NFT, um, that kind of stuff
in smart contracts. But if you look at like production level, smart contract code, it's
significantly more like complex than that. And it's, um, it's, uh, it's, uh, it's, uh,
smart contract language. It's a, should take that syntax and then use it to create something
that's going to be useful and robust and secure. And so one of the things that I've admired about
Learn Web 3 from the beginning, they're actually one of the, uh, first sources that I used to
learn Solidity back in the day when I first started Web 3 development. And so I've admired
them from the beginning for their kind of start to finish approach of, they're going to take you from
zero to a completed project and show you all the steps in between, which is really one of the main
reasons why I'm excited for developers to be able to, to use their, their content, because that's
really one of the, I think one of the gaps in the ecosystem right now is that we have, you know,
pretty good content on the basics of clarity on the syntax. Clarity is the smart contract language
for stacks, by the way. But what I was really excited about that Learn Web 3 brings to the table
is that start to finish content specifically created by a team that has a lot of experience
in the Web 3 space, because that's really what's, what's going to enable developers to whether they
want to start their own startup, be a contractor, freelance developer, work for a company, whatever,
what's really going to separate them from the pack is being able to build out real world projects
that demonstrate that they understand how actual production level smart contracts work and how to
hook those up with front ends, how to integrate testing and really understand this stuff from a
conceptual level. And that's the, that's the thing that I really stood out to me for, for Learn Web 3
that I think they're really good about, about doing that kind of content.
Well, that said, Kenny, let's switch hats as your mojo has on right now. Let's put the hat back on,
if you will. Why the partnership, or is there a partnership looming, I should say,
between Learn Web 3 and the Stacks Foundation?
Yeah, so we've recently officially partnered with Learn Web 3 to create the Stacks developer degree,
which is really meant to kind of fill, fulfill the goal that I just mentioned of how can we take
somebody that's interested in building on Bitcoin, interested in doing that via Stacks, and how can
we take it from a level of being interested to being actually able to build real projects and be
hireable as a smart contract developer. So we just came out with the first course, which is the intro to
Stacks course. That's one of four courses that are going to be released as part of the Stacks developer
degree. And yeah, that overall goal is really to be able to enable developers to go from zero to 100
with being able to actually build real Stacks projects. So yeah, that's, this is kind of the beginning of
the partnership. We've actually been unofficially working with Learn Web 3 for, I think, close to two years
now. They've been pretty active in the Stacks ecosystem, have built a couple cool tools. They have an alternate
Faucet. I've been on a couple of their Web 3 Wednesday spaces, and me and Hardik have been
talking for, yeah, I think close to two years now. So they're not new to the Stacks ecosystem. They've
been around for a while. So this partnership is a long time coming.
It's official, official. This is exciting. All right, Hardik, I gave you a little bit of time
to breathe. Now I'm coming back to you. Why make this partnership now? Why select Stacks in this
evolution? You know, having been a part of the ecosystem and watching it evolve over the last two
years, why now? I mean, I would have been down to make it happen sooner, but it's all good. It's like,
there's been a bunch of things, you know, when it comes to building on top of Bitcoin and Stacks.
So first of all, to clarify, so like our role, Learn Web 3's role in sort of the ecosystem, you know,
or in general, I guess, like the role of educators in the ecosystem, you know, we get inbound from new
devs who are coming into this space. You know, it's usually younger devs, you know, usually either in
college or university or just fresh out of university, looking to get into space, not knowing
where to start. And there's a real paradox of choice when it comes to this industry. There's a hundred
different competing platforms competing for their attention. So our job at that point then comes down
to, you know, we're sort of responsible for, you know, making the judgment call in terms of where do we
want to guide these students to. So we're also like, you know, fairly selective in terms of where do we
choose to build our courses or like what platforms do we choose to teach about? Because at the end of
the day, it's, it's, it's what the path is for these students and where they'll find the most
opportunities and where they'll be able to build in a sort of long term future proof way compared to
whatever the latest type cycle is. So when it comes to sort of Bitcoin and stacks, you know, it's kind
of, you know, it's undeniable that, you know, Bitcoin is massive, you know, it is still the number one
network with the largest bug bounty in the world. You know, 15 years after it's making over like
trillions of dollars secured on the network. So the, the thing that sort of really excited me about
stacks when I first got introduced to it, it really just comes down to the fact that we have
a way to make those trillions of dollars of assets participate in the ecosystem. Like they're just
sitting there. Like I've never really been a huge fan of saying that Bitcoin is like gold or a store
of value. Cause I've, I've personally never been a fan of that, you know, Satoshi, even the white paper
never really analogized it to gold. It was always supposed to be cash. It was always supposed to be
P2P. It was always supposed to be used like every day for daily things. And sort of over time because
transaction fees got high because, you know, the dollar value of BTC went up so much, people kind of
stopped using it day to day because it was just too expensive. And the exciting thing about stacks is it
it really sort of takes Bitcoin back to its roots where on these stacks L2, you can now actually use
it day to day. You can do it cheap and fast transactions, but also make those assets much
more productive, much more than just P2P cash actually participate in real, you know, application,
whether it's DeFi or whether it's NFTs or whatever the application ends up being, like actually making
those assets productive. So, um, and you know, like these days in 2024, now there's a bunch of,
uh, you search for Bitcoin L2, there's like 50 projects out there now, but imitation is the best
form of flattery, I guess. And it's also undeniable that stacks is the leader over there. So, um, but it's,
it wasn't really a hard choice to make. And yeah, we're, we're excited. We're super excited for the
future of sort of building on Bitcoin as Kenny mentioned, I've been sort of active in the
ecosystem for a while now. And with this partnership, it's just course one that has
launched. There's a lot of things still coming on the way and yeah, I'm, I'm hyped.
Well, speaking of what's to come, uh, stacks developer degree. Uh, this is the beginning
of a journey for someone. What, what is the stacks developer degree? What does it look like today?
What does it mean to, to get that? What does it cover? And maybe where does it go from
here? Yeah. So the degree is split up into four courses, uh, each getting progressively
more difficult and more sort of deep diving into it at each step of the way. What's currently
released as of today is course number one, which is introduction to stacks. Um, so introduction
to stack sort of, you know, first there's a few high level conceptual topics talking about,
you know, Bitcoin, the opportunity of Bitcoin, the problems of building on Bitcoin natively,
uh, where stacks comes into the picture. What does it even mean to be a Bitcoin L2,
um, how to build on stacks. And then it ends with us building a DeFi protocol on stacks, uh,
to, for token streaming. Then the, so this is kind of like the way I categorize course one
is this is a stacks native course where we're talking about what it is, how it works and why
it's safe. And then we're shifting gears to talk about clarity, the language for smart contracts,
and then how to build using clarity and then actually building something with clarity.
Um, future courses take this concept and go a little bit deeper. So course two that is currently
planned, the curriculum for course two that is planned right now starts talking about,
okay, now that we understand clarity a little bit and how to build apps on stacks,
how do we actually make it end to end? Like how do we actually get users to use those things?
Um, so course two talks a little bit about, you know, first of all, deep dive into some of the more
advanced features of clarity, and then also building projects that actually integrate end to end with,
like front ends with client side libraries, uh, to actually make proper web apps that are actually
usable by somebody other than just the developer. Um, so that's where sort of course two falls in,
uh, which is end to end applications. Um, then course three comes in as sort of a ecosystem course
where, okay, now we know how to build on stacks and we know how to make, you know, front ends and
apps for users, uh, to interact with what we've deployed on stacks. Course three is now,
you know, but you're not in this playing field alone, right? There's other people in the field
you can leverage. So as a developer, um, it's in your best benefit to not reinvent the wheel every time
you want to do something. And there are some amazing people already in the stacks ecosystem,
you know, folks like heroes, uh, DeFi protocols, like Alex, um, you know, stacking down things like that,
that you can integrate with to build on top of, right? Composability is supposed to be the big thing.
So course number three is kind of like ecosystem where we build projects that are not standalone
and instead compose and integrate in some way or form with other existing projects already out
there within the stacks ecosystem. And then lastly, course number four, um, at the end will be
sort of deeper diving into specifically SBTC and how we can utilize SBTC to do cool things on Bitcoin
with Bitcoin reading and writing from Bitcoin state and, um, like more Bitcoin native focus in general,
I think. And also some relatively advanced topics that we want to reserve until the very end. Um,
so that's going to be the structure of the degree by itself. Apart from that, we're also going to be
setting up a dedicated stacks academy. Um, so it's going to be a dedicated platform to learn for,
for developers to learn anything about stack. Like currently the degree is available on learn web
three, but we're also going to have an academy specific to stacks that is going to be all about
stacks. It will house this degree. It will house other content, other developer related content for
stacks. Um, so that is also going to be coming out shortly.
Okay. That is incredible. Uh, Kenny, what, what came, what, what efforts came together to put these courses, uh,
in place? I mean, this is exciting. You get the basics, you go to end to end applications, you've got the
ecosystem course, and then SBTC. Uh, what was the thinking and methodology behind putting that roster together,
building up to SBDC?
Yeah. A lot of credit here really goes to Hardik for kind of being the mastermind behind the curriculum
outline here. We did some collaboration and brainstorming together, but he's the, he's kind
of the expert on what developers need to learn and when, but the thinking here is really, you know,
it takes a little bit of a different frame of mind to build on like a Bitcoin L2, just because the ethos
and the methodology is a little bit different with keeping that L1 super simple. Um, the L1 doesn't
have the same level of functionality as the L2 does. And so there's some different level of thinking
there. And so we really wanted to give people an introduction to building on stacks, but also dig
into, you know, like he said, yes, we're going to build some real world projects, but also how do you
interact with the ecosystem and build on top of these different protocols? And then finally, uh,
uh, the final part of it being SBTC, when we're talking about sort of activating Bitcoin and making
it, making Bitcoin a productive asset, the upcoming SBTC release is really the major key to how we
actually do that. And it's been in development for quite a while already. There's some pretty complex
tech happening under the hood and all the core developers are trying to make sure that it's done,
done right and done well. And so I'm maybe most excited for that fourth course in the degree,
because that's, what's really going to make it so that developers can use stacks as a Bitcoin L2 to
actually make it a productive asset. And there is some, some really interesting technology that goes
on under the hood of SBTC, where stacks is able to, you know, directly read from Bitcoin state on
chain and clarity of the smart contract language has built in functions to access and verify Bitcoin
data on chain. And so SBTC is really this trust-minimized bridge between the Bitcoin L1 and the
stacks L2. But the cool thing about it and what you'll learn as you go through the degree
is that the way the application and clarity developers will actually interact with it,
it's just a standard fungible token. So all the complexity is happening under the hood and all
the decentralization is happening under the hood, but it's going to be as easy to work with for developers
as any other standard token will be. And so the thinking behind that is how can we take developers from
nothing to being able to build a stacks app, but one that is actually using Bitcoin in a productive
way so that we can deploy Bitcoin and build that decentralized economy on top of Bitcoin.
That's exciting. And Kenny, where do things go from here? Now we've got this, this partnership for
the ecosystem. We've got the stacks economy that's being, or excuse me, the stacks academy that's
being set up. The economy is already going. And then we also have the stacks developer degree and so
many side quests set up between hackathons and bounties and intro courses. Where does everything go from here?
Yeah. So next step is to just continue releasing these courses one at a time. And then the other thing
that I'm really excited about that Hardik mentioned is this stacks academy, this dedicated platform.
One of the things that really drew me to learn web three in the first place outside of just their
ability to create the content was also just the logistics of how their platform works.
It's one thing to go through sort of a static written tutorial, but they have the written tutorial,
they have video content, and then they have quizzes. And then the other thing that's really cool
about what they do is they actually will have students write a smart contract, deploy it, and then be able
to verify that they actually did it correctly. And so that interactivity is something I'm really excited
about, plus the additional features like the hackathons and bounties. But if you've been in the
stacks ecosystem for any amount of time, you've probably noticed that a lot of the educational
resources are really scattered across different platforms. And so one of the things that I'm working
on is that I'm really excited about is to bring all of these educational resources into one place to
live on the stacks academy. So that way, if you go to the stacks academy as a developer, you're going to,
the goal is you're going to find everything you need there to be able to do whatever you want
to do and build whatever you want to build on stacks. So that's kind of the next step. Next step
for me is to get all of our existing educational content tutorials courses integrated into that
platform. And yeah, I look forward to the rest of the courses and the developer degree being released.
All right, Hardik, same question. What is, what do things look like going forward on the LearnWeb3 side
that developers can get excited about and really look forward to post their participation in the
developer degree or also some of the basic courses? 100%. Yeah. So, I mean, most of it Kenny already
covered it's in, you know, terms of continuing to release these new courses, um, making them
interactive, things like that, that are already happening under the hood. So they will be, you know,
course two coming out soon in a few weeks. Uh, we've already had a bunch of people go through course one
at this point already. And, um, you know, this is before the academy is out. This is before
some of the other things are coming out. Um, so mostly on our side, we're heads down,
just working on getting the content out there as soon as possible and working with Kenny in the
back end to get these stacks academy set up as well, as soon as possible and make that live.
Awesome. Hardik, where can everyone go, uh, in terms of a shout out, like, uh, where can they go
to get started? What's the web address? Uh, and where can they follow you and in the team as well?
Yeah. So, um, the, the platform where you want to go as of today would be go to learnweb3.io
and you'll find a link to the stacks course on the homepage, but otherwise just go under the
courses, uh, and degrees section and you'll find the stacks developer degree over there.
So learnweb3.io as of today, but in a few days, we'll also have probably something on
academy.stacks.co or something like that, uh, for the dedicated stacks academy over there as well.
Um, for me, uh, personally and the team, you know, we're all on Twitter. Uh, you can hit me up
on Twitter, DM me, my DMs are open. If anybody has any questions, if you want to meet other people
building in the stacks ecosystem, you know, the stacks discord is great. Um, in our learnweb3
discord as well, we have a dedicated channel, um, for people going through the stacks degree in
case any questions come up and you need help. Um, yeah, and that I'm fairly active on Twitter.
Feel free to DM me over here or follow the learnweb3 handle on Twitter or DM that. We're active
there we go. Awesome. Thank you very much, Hardick. Uh, everyone, as Hardick said,
make sure to check out learnweb3, uh, online, also the stacks academy, learnweb3.io. Make sure to
follow him and the team along with Kenny and the stacks foundation to learn more on your building
journey. Uh, furthermore, uh, both of you, thank you very much for the time today. Really appreciate
