FAQ

How do the Rust online course learning and the free Solana development training happen?

First things first — both options won't cost you a dime. The course starts with the Rust section, where you'll learn to program in Rust. Once you nail that part, the Solana basics section will unlock like magic.

#1. All you need now is to hit that «Start Course» button and sign up on our Teachable platform. From there, it's all in your hands.

#2. The lessons in this Web3 course are served up one after another. You'll go through the lecture material and then take a quiz at the end of each lesson.

Already got a handle on Rust language? Wow! You can skip right ahead and take those quizzes to unlock the Solana basics section.

Why should I choose the IdeaSoft Career Booster course?

#1. A standard Solana coding course might not cut it for newbies trying to dive into the world of Solana blockchain developers. The real deal here is that to get this blockchain programming vibe, you must know the Rust language.

Learn Rust programming, and you'll find that tackling it on your own can be pretty time-consuming. But hey, we got a whole section with Rust basics, specially tailored for beginners. Plus, in the IdeaSoft Career Booster course, the authors break down the differences between Rust and language like C or C++, which many folks are familiar with. 'Cause let's face it, switching to Rust can bring some compiler-related headaches for someone.

The author behind the online Rust course is a seasoned Rust Software Engineer who remembers those struggles. That's why he decided to throw in some extra tips on how to rock it with Rust. So, you'll be gaining those Rust development skills from scratch, and you can use 'em for both Web3 and Web2. That's like a 2-in-1 package!

#2. We also made sure the Solana section was beginner-friendly. Once you've grasped the blockchain development language, just follow our simple guide to writing a Solana program. No need to dive into complex stuff right away. We'll even hook you up with some extra info about Anchor as a bonus, optional. If you're hungry for more, check out our free Advance course for in-depth Solana development knowledge.

#3. And that's not all! After each lesson, we cooked up some quiz questions for you. We've got text-based quizzes to test your memory of the material, and sometimes we throw in some code examples where you have to find errors or predict the output. You must pass the quiz before moving on to the next lesson, but it's all good 'cause it keeps you on your toes and makes you put in that extra effort while studying.

And when you're studying Rust, we're not just throwing boring code examples at ya. We got a nifty plugin for you. Click that Run button to see what happens when you try out the code.

#4. This IdeaSoft Career Booster course was created in collaboration with IdeaSoft and Blaize specialists. The authors have been working on client projects for ages and building their own blockchain teams. So rest assured, they've got expertise in blockchain development and know how to get you ready to write your first smart contract. Get ready to boost your career!

Will I get a certificate after finishing the Rust + Solana development course?

Totally! In the last lesson of the course, you'll get this proof thingy that shows you've nailed the Rust and Solana developer skills. Your certificate will be like a Solana NFT. To claim it, you have to register a Solana wallet. But don't sweat it, we'll guide you through that whole process during the course, no problem!

What programming language does Solana use?

#1. When it comes to building programs known as smart contracts on Solana, developers have the flexibility to use Rust, C, and C++. These programs are deployed on the blockchain and run through the Solana Runtime. To interact with these smart contracts, you send transactions with instructions using the JSON RPC API or other compatible SDKs.

#2. For the development of dApps on Solana, the process resembles building traditional web or mobile apps and working with centralized APIs. The basic building block for dApp development is the JSON RPC API. Solana Labs made a user-friendly SDK called Solana-web3.js, making it easy for developers to communicate with the blockchain and Solana programs like any other API. You can also find other SDKs made by other people that work with popular languages like Java, C#, Python, Go, Swift, Dart-Flutter, and Kotlin.

So, in a nutshell, talking about developing on-chain programs, Solana relies on Rust, C, and C++, while dApp development can be done with different languages supported by the Solana SDKs, including Solana-web3.js.

Should I learn Rust for Solana development?

It's a good idea to learn Rust language before diving into the world of Solana blockchain developers, and that's why.

#1. Rust is the go-to language in the Solana ecosystem for a few reasons. First off, Rust is all about performance, safety, and concurrency, which aligns perfectly with Solana's high-performance goals.

#2. Secondly, Rust is the language of choice for Solana's core software, including the blockchain protocol and smart contract platform. Using the same language for program development makes integration, compatibility, and consistency a whole lot easier within the Solana ecosystem.

That's why we strongly recommend developers interested in a Solana blockchain course to learn the Rust language. It'll give you a solid kick-off for your journey!

Can I learn Rust as a first language?

Well, learning Rust as your very first programming language can be a bit challenging. Rust has its complexities, especially when it comes to systems programming and memory management. It's got these strong safety guarantees and efficiency, which means you have to pay attention to all those little details and wrap your head around concepts like the ownership system and lifetime, among others.

Now, if you want to transition to Rust quickly, it's generally recommended to have some prior programming experience with other object-oriented languages, like C or C++. Having familiarity with low-level concepts makes it easier to grasp Rust's unique features.

By the way, the ICB Rust language course assumes that students already understand basic programming stuff like variables, functions, and memory allocation. Just keep that in mind.

But hey, don't get discouraged! You can dive into Rust as your first language with the right attitude and motivation. Just remember that it might take a bit more time and effort compared to learning languages like Python or JavaScript.

And if you're starting fresh with this Rust + Solana blockchain development course with little programming experience, no worries! Plenty of beginner-friendly guides and resources exist to help you out. And don't forget to check out additional links and materials the authors have put together for you.

Can I skip the Rust part and jump right into the Solana unit?

Absolutely! If you already know Rust programming, breeze through those Rust section tests to unlock the Solana basics.

Pros & students' thoughts

When I started acquaintance with Solana there was no easy way to learn core features, only documentation, SDK source code, and some examples from open-source projects. Now Solana ecosystem, have Solana cookbook and Anchor Guide Book that is pretty good, but still more focused on showing concepts and not explaining how to use them in production code.

That's why I always wished for a course that will provide you with all the necessary to write real-world Solana programs.

I hope this course will help you learn all the things about Solana development much more easily and kindly guide you from basic concepts to understanding how to create quality and robust programs.

To be a Rust developer, you don’t need special previous knowledge or some special background. The main point is to be encouraged by building secure and scalable applications and put sustainability as the core part of your development and vision of how to build the application.

Picking up this vector of the development and approach to building applications, Solana creates SDKs and development tools to make this way to build not only on Rust but the smart contracts and communicate with the blockchain much easier.

As the education platform, we make it twice easier. We provide a “cookbook” on how to build and “cook” your perfect experience and knowledge as a Rust developer and a smart contract developer based on Solana. We create all needed and compound tasks, experience-provided knowledge, and processes that will be needed later. This is our goal and our key unique value proposition that we put inside our ICB.

Solana is not the easiest blockchain in terms of developing smart contracts. Apart from knowing Rust as a programming language, it is still necessary to pass not simple acquaintance with the instruments.

This course is prepared by specialists in blockchain and decentralized systems and developers with deep experience in working with rust. And all of them are familiar with all the difficulties and pitfalls connected with the development of Solana. Therefore, I am sure that this course will provide the necessary conditions for entering this niche and will provide the necessary knowledge to specialists with the desire to develop in this direction.
