Pictured: The Tezos Educational Grant Program

The Tezos Commons Foundation is happy to announce that Zastrin will be the first recipient of it’s Tezos Educational Grant Program. The Tezos Commons Foundation is a US based non-profit organized and funded by Tezos enthusiasts to further the ecosystem and community focused on the Tezos blockchain.

Earlier this year, TCF solicited input from the members of the community asking for projects and areas that they would like to see developed. At the forefront of these requests was a desire to have more educational material available. Zastrin (www.zastrin.com) — a producer of online guided courses — has been chosen to receive a grant to develop an introductory course for the Tezos blockchain.

Like their prior work on Ethereum, the Zastrin Tezos Guided Course will guide a new developer up the learning curve introducing Tezos and its innovations. By the conclusion of the course, the developer will have an understanding of the core Tezos concepts, programming languages, tools and technologies in the Tezos ecosystem. Course participants will also have an opportunity to build a simplistic decentralized application on Tezos covering both the development environment set-up and the project implementation. It is anticipated that the Zastrin Tezos Guided Course will be available within three months.

This first guided course will give developers a baseline understanding of the protocol and its benefits. The Zastrin team is anticipating that further course work will be developed which focuses on further technical details around what is possible on the Tezos blockchain and how to build and develop on it.
