How Web Developers Can Get Involved With NEAR

The rise of Web3 generated new opportunities for companies, fueling a tremendous demand for web developers and software engineers that the industry is struggling to meet. Opportunities are everywhere, but as Web3 is still in its early days, these remain largely hidden to those coming from a Web2 reality. To bridge these two worlds, and allow developers and software engineers to benefit from these new opportunities, NEAR has designed NEAR Academy, a springboard to Web3.

NEAR’s aim is to bring the adoption of Web3 solutions mainstream, for this reason, NEAR has engaged in the development of a clear and hands-on program to welcome newcomers into the space. The program does not only give a general overview of the Web3 landscape and the opportunities to be found there, but it also traces a concrete pathway for developers to get involved with NEAR.

The program does not only give a general overview of the Web3 landscape and the opportunities to be found there, but it also traces a concrete pathway for developers to get involved with NEAR.

In a simple and engaging way, NEAR Academy guides newcomers into the NEAR Ecosystem, showing them the various components that make NEAR the most user-friendly and scalable protocol to date. Concretely, NEAR Academy allows newcomers to learn how NEAR smart contracts can be deployed, how easily developers can build their own interface within minutes, and how only with basic technical knowledge, one can go a long way and build cutting edge applications.

NEAR Academy is for developers at all levels

At the end of the course, the various ways in which one can get involved with NEAR are presented and all the relevant information on how to get started are provided, as well as concrete examples of the amazing projects that have been built on NEAR.Upon completion, participants will also be awarded a certificate demonstrating their acquired abilities and knowledge, facilitating their entrance into the NEAR community.

NEAR Academy provides the basis from which developers can start nurturing their potential and ignite the engines of innovation. This is what NEAR is all about: providing the right infrastructure to accelerate innovation and let talent flourish!
