NCD CN L2 Cohort 1 (2021/09/17 ~ 2021/11/26)

[think-in-universe]

Introduction to NCD L2

Congratulations to everyone who has received your NCD L1 certificate. You're now able to build your DApp and contract with NEAR, even though something basic yet. This a great move towards the next milestone of building something great together.

NCD L2 is aimed at building something REAL, either by yourself from scratch, or learning by contributing to existing projects, and working together with developers worldwide.

TestNet Project v.s. Contributor

We have two tracks in NCD L2 course: TestNet Project Track or Contributor Track.

The TestNet Project Track guides you through the basic procedure of Web3 project creation and production:

• Idea -> Prototype -> Build -> Release -> Feedback -> Improvement

The Contributor Track guides you through the basic procedure of Web3 project open source contribution (orbit model):

• Explore -> Participate -> Contribute -> Build -> Team

What will you do with NCD L2?
