We need to have a mastering cardano book

I have been a long term member of this forum and a while ago I raised the issue of a lack of a Mastering book series for Cardano on reddit. So, basicallly for the two biggest cryptocurrencies , eth and btc , there exist mastering ethereum and mastering bitcoin respectively. They are similar to O’reilly books with technical depth. They start you off with how their ledger works, their blockchain primitives and build a foundation for new and experienced developers to start doing technical contributions to their ledger which includes smart contracts for ethereum.

I have been in cardano for two years now and have created cardano programming tutorials as a Cardano ambassador , been a catalyst milestone reviewer and also gone through Emurgo’s Cardano solution architect course.

When I asked the community about a similar book for cardano, I was suggested to go seek funding through catalyst for the initiative. Therefore, I have raised a proposal in Fund 13 and would appreciate if you could vote for this.

Cheers

I believe this project is important and should be included on the agenda.
Cardano has long differentiated itself from other blockchain platforms by emphasizing academic research and rigorous methodology.

Comprehensive resources can act as a powerful catalyst for Cardano adoption; empowering developers, researchers, and enthusiasts to explore and innovate while instilling confidence in the ecosystem.
A well-structured book that provides step-by-step coverage of a wide range of topics, from the consensus mechanism and governance model to the smart contract system, would be an invaluable toolkit for harnessing Cardano’s power and enriching the network with fresh perspectives and implementations.

Both students and professionals will benefit from a thorough introduction to Cardano’s core concepts and development essentials.
