(How i forgot to put this here is what is amazing)
So, I made a decision to put this out there as a challenge for anyone who would want to take it up. This is a “100-day solidity” challenge for anyone out there who wants to challenge themselves with learning solidity.
You must not be a total beginner to pick this up. You can also pick it up as a refresher for your knowledge. Each day comes with a task that is required of you.
What do you need to start this challenge?
You need your learning resources (videos and books).
You also need a GitHub repo to push your code.
I will be documenting the daily tasks here and also updating my repo as I move on. The link to my GitHub repo for this challenge will be available soon.
Take a look at the challenge.
