Aspiring Blockchain Developer from USA (Alabama)

Hello all, I’m glad to be here. I’ve loved the concept and has been loosely following Cardano for some years now. I distance myself from the crypto space almost the better part of year due to personal reasons. I came back as the big DeFi/Yield Farming profits & craze was dying down, so I missed out on a lot off profits. But through it all Cardano still remains my #1 interest.

With that said, I decided I want to get into Blockchain development, especially Cardano. I’ve been introduced to several programming languages over the years, but have never been employed or developed any projects with my programming knowledge so I’m learning Javascript and completing exercises to progress my knowledge/experience.

There is so much content to filter through in the Programming/Cardano communities in order to reach my goal of becoming a valid blockchain developer. So, if anyone is willing to point me in the direction where a newbie developer can get some guidance or a Programming Mentor that would be really helpful.

Thanks,
Gibby

Dear @Gibby ,

What makes you interested in Cardano, particularly?

I ask because your first paragraph mentions:

I came back as the big DeFi/Yield Farming profits & craze was dying down, so I missed out on a lot off profits.

I’m fairly new to the community, but I have noticed that “market price” and “profits” and “gains” - are not the main focus around here. Personally, I enjoy that about Cardano. The individuals involved seem to be mission driven and focused on building sustainable systems - rather than “profit.” It is no big deal - we all have our different gateways!

Since I am new as well - I am not able to point you in the right direction. However, I think I am going start by learning more about Plutus. See you over in Plutus Talk section?

Best of luck to you!
