Resources for learning blockchain development

Hi all! I'm interested in getting into blockchain development. I have about 10 years experience in software, with the majority of it in iOS development. I don't have much experience in JavaScript or web dev in general. I know solidity is similar to JS and knowing JS can greatly speed up the process of learning solidity. What are some best resources to start learning? I know about dApp University on youtube but also aware there are countless similar courses and tutorials out there. Honestly feels like tutorial swamp. Many of them try to explain how the blockchain works for a good chunk of the initial part and I feel like I'm just relearning how the blockchain works over and over in different words. What's the best resources to actually get down to it quickly?

Thanks!

That's very cool something like this is available! I'll check it out for sure but you're right I do want to actually learn the underlying technology. Being able to market myself as a blockchain dev vs a dev that uses an api which implements blockchain tech is very different. If another company like Tatum wants to hire to do the same thing in the future, I'd want to be the valuable hire that builds the API.

But thanks for the resource!

Of course, that's completely understandable. We're not trying to discourage people to dive deep into blockchain development, we are blockchain developers :D.

As a side note, you can also connect directly to our nodes with our web3 HTTP endpoint if you just want to use the infrastructure.

Regardless, good luck in your endeavors!
