- "WEB 3 vs WEB 2" Reading Lists (Eps.578)
Topic 1 - Welcome to the show. You’re a man of many skills. Tell us a little bit about your background, as an entrepreneur, an educator and as a developer.
Topic 2 - Web3 is potentially a big concept. As someone who both builds web3, but also explains web3, how do you begin explaining the main concepts to newbies?
Topic 3 - Many of the web3 discussions center around “distributed systems”. Can you help us understand what is distributed vs. these more centralized on-ramps like Coinbase or Openseas or a virtual world?
Topic 4 - Is everything associated with web3 tied to cryptocurrencies? Is that the starting point for everything web3?
Topic 5 - What are some ways to understand not only the broad set of crypto coins/tokens, but also the differences between currencies and smart contracts?
Topic 6 - Is there a way to build a Hello World app for web3? Or how would you structure a One Month (to Code) for web3?
