Algorand School is an open slide deck I've built over time during my talks on Algorand's blockchain with the help of Algorand colleagues.
The goal of the deck is providing a step-by-step introduction to Algorand's technology, ecosystem and tools, in order to lower the learning curve difficulty and speed up the learning process.
Main topics of the Algorand School:
- 🕸 Understanding Algorand Consensus and Algorand Networks
- 🛠 Familiarizing with the Algorand Nodes and Dev Tools
- 🤝 Shedding light on Algorand's features (Account, Transactions, ASAs, etc.)
- 🤖 Clarifying how to develop dApps on the Algorand Virtual Machine
- Blockchain as an infrastructure
- Analog properties for Digital things
- Algorand Consensus
- Algorand Sustainability
- Algorand Networks
- Algorand Interoperability
- Algorand Transactions
- Algorand Accounts
- Algorand Standard Assets
- Algorand Virtual Machine
- Algorand Smart Contracts on Layer-1
- Smart Signatures & Smart Contracts
- TEAL
- PyTEAL (credits to @jasonpaulos and @matteojug)
- Algorand ABI (credits to @deanstef)
- Beaker (credits to @iskysun96)
Almost all the contents presented in the Algorand School derive directly from the Algorand Developer Portal, which remains the first and most important source of information about Algorand.
