<h3 id="summary">Summary</h3>
<p>We at Quinence are excited to introduce a detailed course on the Polkadot SDK on our Modern Fullstack platform, designed for developers eager to delve into Substrate, Polkadot, and Cumulus. We have previously conducted the first-ever Polkadot DevCamp partnering with the Web3 Foundation. Recognizing the lack of comprehensive and up-to-date educational materials in this domain, our course aims to fill this void with an in-depth, structured program that integrates theory with hands-on practice, suitable for various learning stages.</p>
<h3 id="problemstatement">Problem Statement</h3>
<p>We have conducted a thorough review of existing resources on the Polkadot SDK and found a significant gap. The main issue is the absence of a self-contained and expansive resource that can guide motivated learners to utilize Substrate and Polkadot proficiently. Although Substrate's documentation and various tutorials provide a starting point for building on the platform, they are not comprehensive learning materials. Many resources are either outdated, unstructured, not beginner-friendly, or overly specialized, lacking a balance between theory and practical implementation.</p>
<p>Moreover, while the Polkadot Blockchain Academy (PBA) offers in-depth knowledge, its in-person and selective nature restricts its reach. Similarly, other bootcamp programs and recently released speaker notes from PBA are not conducive to self-learning, particularly for those new to the ecosystem.</p>
<h3 id="thesolution">The Solution</h3>
<p>To address these issues, our course aims to be a structured, in-depth educational path that combines theoretical knowledge with practical application, steering clear of isolated tutorials and fragmented learning experiences. This comprehensive approach will enable learners to progress from basic to advanced levels of the Polkadot SDK.</p>
<p>The course &mdash; hosted at our signature self-serve platform Modern Fullstack &mdash; is intended for a broad audience, including newcomers to the Polkadot SDK, application developers, enterprise tech teams, and those involved in the Polkadot ecosystem.</p>
