Web3 Foundations

Repository for foundational learning and daily exercises covering JavaScript, Web3, backend, and blockchain concepts.

Goals

• Build comfort with Linux/WSL, Git/GitHub, and VS Code
• Solidify JavaScript, frontend, backend, blockchain fundamentals
• Practice Solidity and smart contract development

Folder structure

• 00-notes: Concept notes and reflections
• 01-javascript: JavaScript fundamentals and exercises
• 02-web: HTML, CSS, frontend basics
• 03-backend: Servers, APIs, data flow
• 04-blockchain: Bitcoin, Ethereum, nodes, architecture
• 05-solidity: Smart contracts and Solidity practice

Quick setup

1. Install WSL (Windows) or use native Linux/macOS.
2. Install VS Code and the Remote - WSL extension (if using WSL).
3. Install Node.js and npm.
4. Configure Git:
   • git config --global user.name "Your Name"
   • git config --global user.email "you@example.com"
5. Clone:
   • git clone
   • code . (opens project in VS Code)

Workflow

• Use feature branches: git checkout -b feat/
• Commit often with concise messages
• Open PRs and add notes to 00-notes for retrospective learning

Weekly plan (example)

• Week 0: Tooling, environment, basic Git & JS refresh
• Week 1: JavaScript deep dive + small projects
• Week 2: Frontend fundamentals and DOM projects
• Week 3: Backend basics, REST APIs
• Week 4: Blockchain concepts and local nodes
• Week 5+: Solidity practice, audits, and deployments

Notes

• Keep README updated with commands, links, and milestones.
• Add study logs and key takeaways to 00-notes.

License

Add a license file if needed (MIT recommended for learning repos).
