Learn how to become a solidity developer with comprehensive training and future certification through AgorApp, free e-learning for web 3 programming.

Online Training for Web 3 Development and Job Matching

AgorApp is the first ever completely free e-training platform for Web 3 Solidity programming and Solidity developer job placement. The training takes candidates through a gauntlet of Web3 tutorials, courses and challenges to prove certification and job marketability. Candidates learn Ethereum blockchain development, how to build smart contracts, and specific protocols to run blockchain simulations.

Divided into protocols and topics, each training module uses a “smart” editor that serves as an interactive, textbook e-learning experience. Modules have been designed in coordination with professional Web 3 developers, and cater to programmers from beginner to proficient levels. Developers can learn Solidity from scratch via tutorials and courses, or sharpen already developed skills through AgorApp blockchain challenges.

The goal is not only to lower the entry barriers to learning Solidity and Web 3 programming. More importantly, it’s to ease Solidity developers into the job market and to showcase their skills to find meaningful employment. All through natural learning, logical processes, and certification with guidance from professional blockchain engineers and Solidity developers.

AgorApp Solidity Developer Courses

Currently in Beta, AgorApp free Solidity e-learning courses cover fundamental protocols and topics in Solidity programming. Learners use a “smart editor” to run a blockchain simulation in every module, with each containing both theory and instructions. Students learn while writing code in Solidity, and via the interactive, learning experience.

As programmers progress through each module, they learn the skills necessary to build on today’s most innovative Web 3 protocols. Testing at stages ensures knowledge acquisition, while learners can only progress to following courses after finding each solution code.

Starting courses right now include:

  1. Introduction to Solidity
  2. Introduction to ERC-721
  3. Introduction to Ethereum Swarm
  4. Introduction to Near Blockchain
  5. Build Smart Contracts on TON
  6. Building an App with Lisk SDK
  7. Motoko Tutorial (Internet Computer)

Solidity Challenges to Keep Skills Sharp

Following up on our e-learning courses, AgorApp Challenges revolve around problem-solving and cracking algorithms. Challenges expand on the fundamentals from AgorApp courses, and provide an exciting way to sharpen, test and prove skills.

Each challenge represents different obstacles Web 3 programmers encounter when building on the blockchain. Developers should thus have Solidity experience before taking on AgorApp challenges and using these to showcase skills to potential employers.

To date, AgorApp Challenges include:

  • FizzBuzz (The classic coding test for developer interviews) — Ethereum & ICP
  • Sum of even Fibonacci numbers (Ethereum)
  • Largest prime factor (Ethereum)
  • Your Fibonaccii neighbor (Ethereum)
  • Efficient Sorter (Ethereum)
  • Data Serialization (Lisk)
  • Burn LSK tokens (Lisk)
  • Vulnerable Transfer (Lisk)

Fluid Learning Experience and Job Training

The AgorApp mission is to make Web 3 education and training accessible to all, from beginners to advanced developers. Other Web 3 curriculums not only make students pay (in our opinion, far too much), they aren’t interactive. Lessons typically consist of video lectures students are responsible for watching, with practical coding tasks completely separate.

AgorApp flips the switch, providing free education that combines both theory and application in each course to teach Solidity. Students obtain an understanding of fundamental Solidity principles, while at the same time writing code in the smart editor. Each task builds on the next to streamline the learning process and to ensure both practical and fluid knowledge acquisition.

### What can you program in Solidity?

Solidity is an object-oriented programming language like JavaScript, although Solidity’s focus is on smart contract development. Solidity does possess cross-platform capabilities, but the majority of Solidity applications run on Ethereum. There are similarities in syntax for both JavaScript and Solidity.

However, the difference is that Solidity supports inheritance along with C3 linearization and multiple inheritances. It as well differs from Java in that Solidity is an inherently typed language using only dynamic return types. There are also some elements of Python and C++ in Solidity.

The most prominent use cases of Solidity smart contract development include the following.

  • Multiple-signature wallets
  • Voting mechanisms
  • Blind auctioning
  • Crowdfunding

Other popular use cases of Solidity

Solidity is also the programming language for Decentralized Apps (DApps), decentralized finance (DeFi), blockchain games and supply chain management. Nearly anything that runs in the Ethereum Virtual Machine can be, and in fact often is, developed in Solidity.

Initially proposed in 2014 by Gavin Wood in cooperation with Vitalik Buterin, Solidity has become the language of self-executing smart contracts. It has expanded blockchain technology far beyond the Bitcoin-style, peer-to-peer cryptocurrencies of yesteryear.

Solidity programming has paved the way for Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs), utility tokens, and NFTs. It very much looks to be the programming language of Web 3, and, as its creators aptly call it, “one computer for the entire planet”.

Start Learning Skills to Get Hired Today

According to Cryptocurrencyjobs.co, the average solidity developer salary is currently between $100,000 to $150,000. However, with the steady boom in blockchain technology and growing demand for Web 3 programmers, demand can only rise further. This is why AgorApp wants to bridge the gap and ease our next generation programmers into the future. All courses and challenges come at absolutely no cost other than time, patience, and willingness to learn.
