Learning how to code and build apps is a long and difficult journey which is why our instructors, Super Testnet and Austin have put together the first part of the Plebdev Course to condense all of the fundamentals of Frontend development and accelerate your path toward developing apps on your own. We want to encourage more developers to get their start by building on Bitcoin and Lightning and welcome them to the thriving Bitcoin developer ecosystem!
Our instructors have built cutting-edge projects on Bitcoin and Lightning. Both do workshops inside of PlebLab, and both learned how to code from ZERO without prior experience. Using our exciting, hands-on teaching style, you are sure to master the principles AND have fun at the same time!

I am enjoying how the presenters are throwing you right into the fire. Making you build with them as they go. It is hard for a newb to wrap my head around all the concepts, but I can always go back or reach out on discord.

All in all the course is great, helped me a lot, more than anything, to dip my toes into React. I only gave it 3 stars for two reasons. 1: Yes, you get to build a Lightning Wallet, but basically you only fire of a couple of API requests to LNBits and don't really improve your understanding with Lightning. A more apt course name would have been PlebDev Course I: Intro to React by building a Lightning Wallet using LNBits. 2: The range for the target audience they intend to teach is way too broad. The first 3 classes will bore anyone who has basic knowledge of HTML, CSS and JS to death & the last 3 classes will not really be understood by anyone who actually learned anything from the first 3 classes.
