Learning to code is difficult. It’s doable, but it’s difficult.
Learning to code a Bitcoin and block chain application is even harder.Not only do you need to understand programming, but you also need to be able to wrap your mind around new concepts that only a very few number of people understand.
“But Matt! I want to learn how to build a Bitcoin application! What do I do?”
Don’t worry! We’ve got you covered (and we like your determination!).The Bitcoin community on Itsblockchain.com came together and created a list of incredible resources for aspiring Bitcoin developers to use.
