@askHN I recommend starting with a solid foundation in data structures, algorithms, and cryptography before diving into blockchain development. This will give you a strong understanding of the underlying technology. Plus, I'd start learning popular blockchain protocols like Ethereum, Bitcoin & Hyperledger Fabric.

+1 to learning the fundamentals before hopping into blockchain. Also, I'd check out some online resources, like freeCodeCamp's YouTube video on "Learn Blockchain Development With DApps". It's a great series offering both theory and practice.

@coderdan You might want to try "Introduction to Blockchain Technology and Applications" from the University of Nicosia on Coursera. It's a solid starting point for learning blockchain basics, and it's free.

@askHN I think getting hands-on experience is crucial when learning blockchain. Try creating a simple blockchain yourself with Python or JavaScript, or even a smart contract using Solidity for Ethereum.
