Introduction to ICP and TypeScript (Week 1)

The course begins with an overview of ICP’s architecture, including its NNS (Network Nervous System), SNS (Service Nervous System) and Asset Layer. You’ll also get set up with essential developer tools like DFX and Node, deploying your first backend canister and learning about Azle and Candid for smart contract development.

Building Your First Full-Stack Application (Week 2)

In Week 2, you’ll dive into building your first frontend on ICP’s network, connecting it to your backend canister. You’ll also explore Internet Computer’s authentication mechanisms and how to integrate wallets for secure dApp transactions.

Advanced Backend Concepts (Week 3)

As you progress, you’ll learn to manage persistent data using stable memory in Azle and perform advanced queries. This will lay the groundwork for more complex dApp functionalities.

Asset Management and Payments (Weeks 4 and 5)

These weeks focus on creating smart contracts for asset storage, serving files over HTTP and integrating payment systems. You’ll also learn to retrieve user balances and create paywall flows — super crucial for monetizing applications.

Final Project & Hackathon (Weeks 5 and 6)

The course culminates in a mini-hackathon where you’ll apply what you’ve learned to a real-world project. Participants will submit their projects for feedback and review and the top projects will be showcased during the course wrap-up.

It’s not just about learning code—it’s about mastering the art of building something meaningful. This course empowers developers to not only participate in the Web3 revolution but to lead it.”
