The

Web 3.0

Roadmap
by JavaScript Mastery
What is Web 3.0 in

simple terms?
Web 3.0 has the potential to change the internet
as we know it forever. You're still early in catching
the trend and building your first blockchain
application, acquiring the skills to get a high-
paying job, or creating your own web 3.0 projects
that can make you money.
In Web 2.0 all the data is controlled by the

Big Tech companies, such as Google, Apple, etc.

In the decentralized web, no single person/
company owns any data or information about
anyone, and everything is visible to the public.
Web3, also known as the decentralized web, is
the third and latest" phase” of the internet. Web3
is built on peer-to-peer networks of computers
that talk to each other without middlemen.
Web 3.0 Roadmap
1 You should have Web 2.0 Skills
Most people make one mistake to dive straight
into smart contracts without having a technical
background in web development. Blockchain
technologies are built on top of web
technologies.

You can't learn Web 3.0 if you don't have a solid

understanding of web 2.0. So before digging
deeper into more web 3.0, better understand the
fundamentals of web development in general.

Your Web 2.0 skills like React.js, Next.js will be

beneficial because Decentralized Applications
have a standard vanilla JavaScript or JavaScript
framework Front-end.
Web 3.0 Roadmap
2 Learn the Fundamentals of
Blockchain
As a Web 3.0 developer, you need to
understand what the blockchain is, how it works,
why do we use it. You first need to know about
what you are working with.

So what is a blockchain?
A blockchain is a network of computers
connected in some way, and they collectively
run what is called a blockchain client.
Blockchain technology is no more related only
to crypto coins.
Web 3.0 Roadmap
To learn and master the basics of blockchain
technology. First, learn the fundamental things
such as:

What the blockchain is

How it works
How to Interact with the blockchain
How to connect our web applications to
the blockchain

And it is recommended that you get started with

the Ethereum blockchain as it is very popular.

Also, one of the reasons to learn Ethereum

blockchain first is there is a lot of technical
support from its developer's team plus
considerable community support.
Web 3.0 Roadmap
3 Learn About Smart Contracts
A Smart Contract is software stored on a
blockchain-based platform that automatically
executes an agreement. Smart contracts are
how you can program the blockchain to perform
a specific set of instructions, like you telling the
blockchain what to do.
Smart contracts enable you to exchange
anything of value while also eliminating the
middle man. The self-executing feature of a
smart contract is what makes it very important.
The smart contract code cannot be changed,
which in technical terms, we say is immutable.
Web 3.0 Roadmap
Smart contracts can do everything, right from
NFTs to creating your own Crypto Currency to
handling the backend of dApps.

Here's the IBM definition for Smart Contracts:

Smart contracts are simply programs stored on a

blockchain that run when predetermined conditions
are met. They are typically used to automate an
agreement's execution so that all participants can
be immediately sure of the outcome without any
intermediary's involvement or time loss.
— IBM
Web 3.0 Roadmap
Things to learn about Smart Contract

Basics of Smart Contract

Life Cycle of Smart Contract

Compiling, Testing, Deploying smart
Contracts
Interacting with smart contracts
using web3.js
Web 3.0 Roadmap
4 Learn Solidity
Knowing how to write smart contracts is essential
in blockchain app development. So in which
programming language do we write smart
contracts? It's Solidity!
Of course, there are some other programming
languages also, but Solidity is the most popular
one. So understanding Solidity is crucial.
Solidity is an object-oriented programming
language for writing smart contracts. It is used
for implementing smart contracts on various
blockchain platforms.
Web 3.0 Roadmap
Solidity is a relatively new programming
language used for Ethereum blockchain, and it's
a combination of a few languages. The creators
of Solidity got inspired by JavaScript, Java, C++,
rust, & many other languages, therefore making
Solidity extraordinarily versatile & intuitive.

As you start to write code in Solidity, you'll notice

that all of that seems similar, maybe from Java,
JavaScript, but it will make sense as it's almost
written in pure English.
Web 3.0 Roadmap
Here is a small code sample of solidity
programming language

Also, one more reason to learn Solidity is the job

market. Many companies require developers
who know Solidity well.
Web 3.0 Roadmap
5 Learn more about
Decentralized applications
Once you build and deploy your smart contract,
you'll need to create a friendly user interface at
the front end so that any user use it. Remember I
said earlier you should have Web 2.0 skills before
starting blockchain development.
In the front-end interface, you create a DAPP
(Decentralized application). The DAPP can be a
mobile app or a web app, but it is usually a web
app in most cases. The web app is usually just
like your regular web apps with HTML, CSS, and
JavaScript.
Web 3.0 Roadmap
And when building the dApp, there will be two
essential tasks,

1. The integration with the blockchain

2. The integration with the wallet

We shall use a JavaScript library for integration

with the blockchain, Web3.js, which is pretty
helpful and easy to use.
Web 3.0 Roadmap
6 Learn about Metamask or any
equivalent Crypto Wallet
A blockchain wallet helps someone exchange
funds quickly. The transactions are secure, as
they are cryptographically signed. A wallet is
used to interact with the blockchain. The wallet is
accessible from web devices, including mobile
ones, and the privacy and identity of the user are
maintained.
Blockchain wallet provides all the necessary
features for safe and secure transfers and
exchanges of funds between different parties. It is
very similar to sending or receiving money
through PayPal or any other gateway used today,
but you use cryptocurrency instead.
Web 3.0 Roadmap
There are a lot of crypto wallets out there, but
my recommendation would be first to learn
how to integrate your smart contract with the
Metamask wallet and then learn about the
other wallets.

Metamask allows users to access their Ethereum

wallet through a browser extension or mobile
app, which users can then use to interact with
decentralized applications.
Web 3.0 Roadmap
7 Learn Web3.js and Ethers.js to
connect your dAPP
You'll need to interface with your front end to talk
to the blockchain. Here are two popular choices
to interface with blockchains that implement the
Ethereum API, web3.js and ethers.js.

Web3.js is a collection of libraries that allow you

to connect with a local or remote Ethereum node
using HTTP, Websockets, & other communication
protocols directly from your JavaScript Based
front-end.

Ethers.js is a lightweight JavaScript library used

to connect the JavaScript front-end with Smart
Contacts as an alternative to Web3.js.
Web 3.0 Roadmap
8 Practice your skills by building
a blockchain application.
After that, I suggest you should get your hands
dirty with the technologies you have learned so
far. Practice, Practice, and Practice!
To keep learning effectively, you have to
challenge your capabilities. Take up a project
well beyond your capabilities and stick to that
project until you complete it. By the end of just
4-5 such assignments, you will be almost more
proficient than others around you.
Web 3.0 Roadmap
9 Build your Portfolio

When you're comfortable working with

blockchains/dApps, you should consider building
your portfolio; a portfolio website shows evidence
of expertise in your field. It can also help build
trust with clients because they have direct
evidence of the quality of your work.

A portfolio will be beneficial whether you are

looking for Jobs or Internships. More importantly,
potential clients and employers will sense
confidence in you.
Important Note
These are not all the things you need to learn to
become a web 3.0 developer, there are many more
things you should consider learning, but these are
the main building blocks you should learn first.

There is no end of learning in web development

there’s always something to learn.

So never stop learning!
