It is definitely a lot more user friendly than the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"documentation (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/docs.corda.net\/docs\/corda-os\/4.4.html\" target=\"_blank\">documentation<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It provides key concepts at the start and interestingly enough put blockchain fundamentals at the very end. I would have had it at the top as well but assume that because it wasn&#8217;t Corda specific, it is like an Appendix of sorts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is an introduction to your first code or &#8220;CorDapp&#8221; which is very important, and then introduction to libraries and SDK&#8217;s because there is usually no need to write things from scratch nowadays. It jumps into Corda specific details  and then rounds off with a nice summary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The content is very high quality and neatly packaged as well. The only thing I would add is a Hello World type application for the absolute newbie (which also serves as a system check), and a stronger &#8220;Where to next&#8221; section. The Corda <a href=\"https:\/\/www.corda.net\/blog\">blog<\/a> is also very informative and consistent so hats off to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is all self paced learning of course but if you want support, B9 Labs provides this service for a small fee. I think making a claim to be a Corda expert in 3 months or less is a bit of a stretch but it certainly is a good start.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I got this email in my inbox recently about free<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2679,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2675","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blockchain"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/www.talkcrypto.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/corda.png",194,101,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/www.talkcrypto.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/corda-150x101.png",150,101,true],"medium":["https:\/\/www.talkcrypto.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/corda.png",194,101,false],"medium_large":["https:\/\/www.talkcrypto.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/corda.png",194,101,false],"large":["https:\/\/www.talkcrypto.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/corda.png",194,101,false],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/www.talkcrypto.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/corda.png",194,101,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/www.talkcrypto.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/corda.png",194,101,false],"chromenews-featured":["https:\/\/www.talkcrypto.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/corda.png",194,101,false],"chromenews-large":["https:\/\/www.talkcrypto.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/corda.png",194,101,false],"chromenews-medium":["https:\/\/www.talkcrypto.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/corda.png",194,101,false]},"author_info":{"info":["seandotau"]},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/www.talkcrypto.org\/blog\/category\/blockchain\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Blockchain<\/a>","tag_info":"Blockchain","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.talkcrypto.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2675","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.talkcrypto.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.talkcrypto.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.talkcrypto.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.talkcrypto.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2675"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.talkcrypto.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2675\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2681,"href":"https:\/\/www.talkcrypto.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2675\/revisions\/2681"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.talkcrypto.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2679"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.talkcrypto.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2675"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.talkcrypto.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2675"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.talkcrypto.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2675"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
