Seeing this on the front page of HN, my first impression is "wow, people are really desperate for information on this!" Can anyone with experience point to a better starting point?

I have finished Solidity tutorial on CryptoZombies.io. It was fun but it did not teach how to setup or to deploy Ethereum project on the Ethereum network.

Right now, I am enrolled in https://www.udemy.com/ethereum-and-solidity-the-complete-dev...

It looks good but I haven't finished it yet.

I like Stephen Grider's classes, but I also use them to measure when the hype for a given technology has reached its peak.

B9 Lab has a series of various blockchain development courses. Here's the Ethereum 101 course: https://academy.b9lab.com/courses/B9lab/X16-0/2016/about

This course feeds into a 12wk paid course with certification: https://academy.b9lab.com/courses/course-v1:B9lab+ETH-21+201...

Thanks for the links! Can you share any additional feedback on your experience with either of these options?

I've slowly started tracking tutorial articles like this, and also automated setting up an Ethereum/Solidity development environment and tooling in a VM, with Vagrant. This has been my starting point, but I haven't gone much further yet.

Both the tutorial links and Vagrant setup is here -

Cool ! Thanks for your vagrant setup I will have a look and maybe make a video out ot it :)

Btw this is my utube channel of tutorials for ethereum / blockchain development:

Many of the ethereum projects are extraordinarily well documented. I would recommend skipping the blog posts and just use truffle and the ethereum official docs.

Here's a tweet (I know, right?) with a bunch of resources: https://twitter.com/JimmyRagosa/status/953667960681443335

Thanks! There are a lot of resources out there, many with recommendations from key figures in the community. I would love to hear more about how HN users are progressing up the learning curve -- how effective these tools are in practice.
