Solana Development Roadmap

Solana is a public blockchain platform with smart contract functionality and SOL as its native cryptocurrency. It was first proposed in 2017 and its fist block was created on 16th march'20. This is understood as a big competitor to Ethereum with a higher transactions per second (~65000) and lower gas fee.  It enables developers to write on-chain programs in general purpose programming language such as Rust.

Rust is a multi-paradigm, general purpose programming language that emphasis performance, type safety and concurrency. I found two amazing rust resources that helped me gear up my track to learn solana development:

1. Rust Book: The Rust Programming Language - The Rust Programming Language (rust-lang.org)

2. Rust by Excercism: Rust on Exercism

Another youtube channel let's get rusty has amazing videos to learn from. Web3 fundamentals are backbone to any blockchain and so for solana. Learn solana development in detail from Solana cookbook and start writing solana program using anchor, a framework on top of rust.

Refer to solana questbook for more help. Now, when you know all a bit, jump into projects that will help you improve your understanding. Following are the ones I would refer:

1. Solana Counter 

2. Learning How To Build on Solana

3. Escrow Program

4. Social Media dApp

5. BuildSpace GIF Board Projects

6. Soldev App

Due Devs is a community built for the cool coders out there to interact with each other. Amateur or Pro, there is always something interesting and new to learn, and grow together as an awesome community.

Data Is the New Oil : From Lenses Of Oil & Gas Industry

Yes, times are difficult but that's what opportunity seekers make the best out of. This pandemic has resulted in a lot of unexpected changes. Most of us don't have a plan anymore because it seems hard to believe when and how our lives would resume. What will the new normal be? Is it ever getting back to the same? Will I ever be able to live my good old life again? How will demand for skills change in near future? What shall we do to maximize the gain from this slow-paced life? With so many questions in their mind, I had an opportunity to talk to a wonderful group of audience in a webinar organized by EAGE RGPIT SC . When I asked them "What is in your mind?"  This was their response. People are worried about their careers. With fancy data lingos, everyone is seeking to learn more about them and trying to prepare for a secured tomorrow. Data science has become more and more popular over the last decade. Being a data scientist is now a software engineer of yesterday. Eve...

How Much Do Grades Matter?

Knowledge is important publications are not. Your degree might help you get somewhere but to grow you need to really know beyond your grades. This is becoming super popular with so many successful colleges drop out folks around yet it's important to know it all, why did they drop out?because they had an Idea!  Very important to talk about, while everyone was studying securing good grades, what were you doing? Alright, you said you didn't want to part of a herd then what? Did you find your kingdom on your own? Did you make sure you utilized the time well? Did you do all that you wanted? If yes you might already know by now where your interests lie, if not yet you sure need to give more thoughts to it. Back to grades, I would say a straight no what matters is your attitude. Are you a hard-working successful fellow or a smart-working professional. Hard-work can take you anywhere but it can also take others there as well. Then, if you are competing, if you want to stand-...

Power Query - I : Dynamic Connection To Latest Data in Database

If coding/automation is not about us fooling the machine to get our work done, we haven't yet exploited our powers enough. I, in my daily life, do all sorts of problem-solving involves complex coding, cloud computing, etc. but I get my real kick when I solve the smallest problem like hacking excel, or automation of workflow using power query. Here is my latest gig, I tried to connect to an excel in SharePoint and ensure that every time the database is updated my query picks the latest file. This is the first time I am using power query and it sounds so powerful. So without further delay, let's see what I did: 1.  Connect Excel to DataBase:  Open an excel file, Select  Data  from the green ribbon, go to  Get  Data , select the drop-down on  From File , and connect to share point select  From SharePoint Folder.  Fig1: Select DataBase Once you select the database which is SharePoint in our case, you will get a window like this popping up to conn...
