**Proponent:** 16JVrgg7t6m5UXAtDBM7jYp9XjAxALRVFP6GuKVFmi9HLw8d (Batman, Polkadot)

**Date:** 12 Feb 2024 (proposal submission date), March-September 2024 (expected timeline)

**Requested DOT:** 20,000 DOT ($141,000 @ $7.05, see [Budget Breakdown](<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rCS6hI7o6xne0xS3nxHNDuNal3GDfhFYJIlZPibnj_c/edit#heading=h.jyy7v7cjctsl>) for details)

**Short description:** This proposal aims to fund the development costs of integrating local coding environments to [Dot Code School](<https://dotcodeschool.com>), improving the learning experience for developers who are new to the Polkadot SDK.

The goal is to make it easier for them to build a Real World Web3 Application by following along with the tutorials published on Dot Code School.

To facilitate a seamless transition from theory to practice, the implementation of a custom Git server with chapter-specific test suites is proposed, designed to emulate real world development.
