RareSkills

When I started the Rareskills advanced solidity program, I had about 1 year of work experience as a blockchain security engineer / auditor. Throughout the program, I was constantly learning new skills that would help me in my day to day job as a smart... Read More contract auditor. I consistently referred to the material I learned from Rareskills to help me with the audits that I was doing for work. The instructors are some of the most thoughtful, helpful, considerate and experienced when it comes to any blockchain related topics. During the program, I needed to take some time off and they let me pause the program for months, without any additional expenses and let me resume the program at a future date.

Aside from the learning and instructions, the community is also extremely valuable. I ended up getting a referral from a fellow student (outside of my cohort) for a job at Coinbase as a blockchain security engineer. This referral eventually helped me to land my role at Coinbase. The community and connections of other highly skilled solidity developers is worth the value of the course in itself.

I joined a web3 company about a year ago and had to write some Solidity contracts as part of the job. I quickly realised how important it is to really understand how the EVM and Solidity works if you wanted to deploy real production grade contracts for... Read More users. I wanted a structured learning program which went really deep into the weeds and found Rareskills! The course really exceeded my expectations. Each module pointed you to great resources you should learn from + had difficult assignment questions you could only solve if you understood the resources really well. Each week also had a call with the instructor and all the others in your class which was super fun. I really enjoyed discussing what I learnt and clarifying my questions with all the other students. The weekly 1-1 calls with the instructor was great too! Your code gets properly reviewed. It's awesome to know how things work under the hood and Rareskills helped me achieve that. I can notice security issues, understand audit reports, write and debug yul, think of gas optimisation and a lot more quite easily. The confidence of knowing things a lot deeper like this is quite nice. Be prepared to put in a significant amount of work and time into the course though. The modules are not easy. But thats what makes it fun!

RareSkills' Advanced Solidity course was a game-changer! 🌟 Their hands-on approach made learning engaging and insightful. Instructors were top-notch, ready to explain and open to feedback. The weekly calls were rich in content, adding immense value to... Read More the learning experience. 💻 The course layout could use a bit more balance in terms of exercise distribution, but it didn't overshadow the overall quality of the course. The exclusivity of the cohort and the shared commitment to learning were truly inspiring.👩‍💻👨‍💻 All in all, RareSkills met my expectations and has sparked my interest in furthering my blockchain knowledge. Thumbs up for an enriching learning experience! 👍

The RareSkills Solidity Bootcamp provides a dedicated learning environment to pursue becoming a solidity developer with a curriculum put together by industry experts who have years of experience in the field. With such a fast-growing space, it was often... Read More a doubt in my mind whether the materials I was self-studying were relevant. However, with their expertise I was able to fast track my way to acquiring the necessary skills to become not only an employable solidity developer but one who is above the curve. The 1:1 sitdowns with industry experts such as Jeffrey Scholz, an ex-yahoo engineer who is a technical advisor for startups and VC firms with over half a billion dollars in assets, and Koyuki Nakamori, the Director of Market Intelligence at Avalanche, also provided a wealth of insight into not just technical skills but also soft skills that are arguably just as important. If you were like me and don’t know the next step to continuing your solidity development journey, I would highly recommend you give this program a shot. As it definitely overshot my expectations

Bootcamp puts you in a place where you have to write a lot of code. So there's no way for you not to get good even midway through. On the other hand, the theoretical support is really good - instead of trying to bite more than they could chew, they just... Read More provide relevant resources. The most valuable part is weekly coaching calls which helps you a lot to go through any roadblocks. So this is a must-have for anyone looking for serious education in Solidity.

This is a great example of what a BootCamp should be. A well-thought-out, up-to-date and relevant curriculum that covers every aspect of web3 development (testing, security, development, best practices). Fascinating discussions. Blockchain concepts that... Read More felt like black magic are crystal clear now thanks to Jeff’s mentoring. I’m a software engineer with over 6 years of experience, and in my opinion, the course is certainly not entry-level. Assignments were increasingly challenging, although nothing that couldn’t be solved after some time. The mentors were always helpful when I or other students got stuck during those assignments. Unlike other SWE fields, Blockchain is still fairly new and information is scarce, so having a place that collects everything that I needed to be able to land a job was a huge time-saver, not to mention the connections that were made in the process. I encourage anyone pursuing a web3 career to seriously consider RareSkills Web3 development Bootcamp.
