Hey there! This repository was Hey Baylor Bears! This repository was designed by Nathan Galindo on behalf of Helius. It is a course that is made up of a series of projects to help you get started developing frontend applications on Solana. Why Solana? Because Solana is a third-generation protocol with incredibly high throughput and astonishingly low transaction fees, making it an ideal blockchain for builders to hack out the next generation of the internet!

This application is paired with a video series what walks you through each project! Click this link to follow along.

This course focuses on front-end development, and challenges you to build small applications using industry standard front-end technologies as well as some web3 frameworks to interact with the Solana JSON RPC API. Listed below are the main frameworks and tools you will be working with:

• Next.js
• TypeScript
• Tailwind CSS
• solana/web3.js
• solana/spl-token
• solana/wallet-adapter-react

The frameworks and tools used to build out these projects were carefully selected because they are the tools real companies are using in the blockchain industry to build out production applications. Even though they may be new to you, becoming familiar with them will greatly benefit your hireability as a software engineer (both within, and beyond the blockchain industry)!

Navigate to a folder in your local environment and copy/paste the following commands into your terminal:

  git clone [email protected]:masterzorgon/solana-frontend-development-course.git
  cd solana-frontend-development-course
  nvm install 20
  nvm use 20
  yarn
  yarn dev

At this point, the repository should be installed to your computer and hosted on your browser at http://localhost:3000.

For each project, there is a card which contains a brief description of the project, as well as two buttons: "preview" and "starter".

• The "preview" button, when clicked, will direct you to a finished version of the project. This is for your reference as you build the project on your own.
• The "starter" button, when clicked, will take you to a blank page. The pages labeled "starter.jsx" within your repository are blank files that you will use to build out your own version of the given project.
