Program Modules

💻

Learn a Programming Language

Choose Python (easier, widely used in blockchain scripting) or JavaScript (common for frontend dApp development). Focus on one initially to avoid confusion. Relevant Python libraries include Web3.py and requests; for JavaScript, consider ethers.js and web3.js.
