I attended a NEAR Protocol class from Patika.dev website. It’s completely free to attend the class and it’s English. Visit the link below to go to the course:

(Patika also has courses in game development to data science courses you can get access with just signing up)

Let’s Get started

The documentation of web3 Patika is still in the building process so they use other producers' contents and one of the producers they use is Whiteboard Crypto.

the #1 YouTube channel for crypto education and here we explain topics of the cryptocurrency world using analogies, stories, and examples so you can easily understand them.

There are videos with explanations of crypto terms to funny analogies about blockchain on the channel. Patika.dev uses the term explanation videos for teaching you these life-changing terms with animations.

Introduction Program

The program starts with “What is WEB3” (expectedly). So you will watch this video first — also before the course don’t forget to watch the video “what is blockchain”.

Then it passes to

explain blockchain and decentralized apps with videos and documentation. The documentation is very clear and makes you understand the system easily.

The Key Part

The near development part starts with some theoric explanations then you download a project from GitHub to work on it. After you create a NEAR account — you get a tester account 199 Nears included(makes 2.5k dollars now — I was shocked when I saw that money)

After installing the packages you log in to your account from your terminal and view your token on the web — that’s all. Congrats! You made your first project.
