Learning Solana from Solana Developer Course !

Hello Solana!

This repository contains all the source code written during the learning process of Solana Development Course.

NOTE: The entire course structure underwent certain changes and certain courses were deleted / removed on the request of the community. This document needs to be cleaned up after careful review. A lot of the previous content's links are still accessible here ;)

This course is broken down into the following :

dApp Development

1. Introduction to Cryptography and Solana Clients

   1. Cryptography Fundamentals (Create and load keypairs)
   2. Read Data from the network (Connect to Solana and check account balances)
   3. Write Date to the network (Make transactions and use Explorer)
   4. Using custom on-chain programs (Make transactions from a custom onchain program)
   5. Interact with wallets (Make a React frontend to the Ping program)
   6. Serialize program data (Build a react frontend to submit movie reviews)
   7. Deserialize program data (Build a React frontend to show movie reviews)
   8. Page, Order, and Filter program data (Adding paging, ordering and searching for reviews)

2. Client Interaction with Common Solana Programs

   1. Create tokens with the Token Program (Mint, transfer and burn tokens)
   2. Create Solana NFTs with Metaplex (Mint NFTs, update their metadata, and associate with collection)

On-Chain Program Development Course Link

1. Basic Solana Program Development

   1. Hello World (Create and Deploy a 'hello-world' on-chain program)
   2. Handle Instruction Data (Receive movie reviews and deserializes them)
   3. State Management (Store movie reviews)
   4. Basic Security and Validation (Add security checks and updates to the movie review program)

2. Intermediate Solana Program Development

   1. Local Program Development (Configure Windows, Mac and Linux for localhost Solana dev)
   2. program Derived Addresses (Use PDAs to store comments for the movie reviews program)
   3. Cross Program Invocations (Use CPIs to mint token rewards for reviews and comments)

3. Anchor Program Development

   1. Intro to Anchor development (Create and deploy a ping-counter on-chain app using Anchor)
   2. Intro to client-side Anchor development (Create a React and Anchor frontend for the ping-counter app)
   3. Anchor PDAs and accounts (Use Anchor to create a Movie Review program)
