 1 | # Welcome to Radbro Coding Club
 2 | 
 3 | This repository will serve as a place for all work / information / conversations that we want to track, preserve, and share long-term.
 4 | 
 5 | Since our main thread of communication will be via twitter gc, and we all will need Github accounts to follow some of the lessons / projects.
 6 | 
 7 | I figured we should just use Github itself to pin information & have long-running conversationd on coding topics. This way we can avoid use of discord and telegram entirely.
 8 | 
 9 | Long-running conversations on specific topics can be had using [issues](https://github.com/radbro/radbro-coding-club/issues/).
10 | 
11 | Lesson plans, guides, + links to additional materials will be posted here as well.
12 | 
13 | ### Learning Resources
14 | [Mastering Ethereum](https://github.com/ethereumbook/ethereumbook) learn the fundamentals of the EVM
15 | [Speed Run Ethereum](https://speedrunethereum.com/) learn scaffold-eth and solidity
16 | [Vyper By Example](https://vyper-by-example.org/) learn vyper - a fast, easy, and secure language to write smart contracts  
17 | 
18 | ### Beginner Tech Stack 1 - Scaffold-ETH
19 | For most beginners, Scaffold-ETH is a fantastic framework to learn how to build dapps.  
20 | 
21 | This is a "full-block-stack" framework for learning as it's built using hardhat, nextjs, hot-reloading, and many other features to make it very easy to understand the full enineering workflow.  
22 | This means that you'll quickly learn how to go all the way from contracts -> to backend -> to frontend, and deploying your own dapp.  
23 | 
24 | If you're building a simple dapp, you may not even require an RPC provider as you can simply use the wallet's provider and read from the contracts directly by using viem.  
25 | 
26 | **Requirements:**  
27 | [Scaffold-ETH 2](https://github.com/scaffold-eth/scaffold-eth-2/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md)  
28 | 
29 | ### Intermediate Tech Stack 1 - Scaffold-ETH + Ponder + Alchemy
30 | If you are building a more complex dapp, rather than read from an RPC on-demand (which can be slow), you may want to have all of your contract's historical data & events ready to query so you can build front-ends very quickly.  
31 | To accomplish this, let's look at a slightly modified stack.  
32 | 
33 | Ponder makes it easy and quick to index all contract events, and it provides a GraphQL API to easily query all of your data and serve it to your app's UI & frontend.
34 | 
35 | To use ponder effciently, you should use an RPC provider like Alchemy that uses compute units (CU) rather than number of requests.
36 | 
37 | **Requirements:**  
38 | [Scaffold-ETH 2](https://github.com/scaffold-eth/scaffold-eth-2/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md)  
39 | [Ponder.sh](https://github.com/ponder-sh/ponder)  
40 | [Alchemy](https://dashboard.alchemy.com/)
