    Hey, Howdy. I am in career dilemma. I am thinking of switching to blockchain API development. But confused where to start.

    For the context, I am a ERP professional with expertise in Coding APIs where I usually use Fortran. When I start exploring blockchain tech as career option, it is very different that whatever I am working for so many years.

    umm every article i read has jargons like solidity , IPFS, GraphQL, smart contracts and what not.

    So I decide to make the decision to transition to blockchain API , which languages and tools will be easier for me to learn ..means relatable to ERP APIs.

    Learning which tools and frameworks be beneficial like Truffle, Hardhat, Hyperledger Fabric. Where should I learn advanced cryptography which is used on blockchain systems? Can anyone suggest me Youtube channels, discord channels or other courses will be benefial?

    Focus on learning web3 libraries like web3.js, ethers.js, and SDKs such as Alchemy, Moralis, and Infura. These tools enable interaction with blockchain networks, smart contract execution, and wallet management.

    Learn programming languages such as Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Rust, or Go, commonly used in blockchain development. Study blockchain basics, including transactions, smart contracts, and decentralized systems. Start with platforms like Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, or Solana.

    Master RESTful and GraphQL APIs to query blockchain data efficiently. Use tools like The Graph for indexing data and JSON-RPC to interact with blockchain nodes.

    Build simple projects like token transfer APIs or wallet balance fetchers. Read official documentation from blockchain protocols and contribute to their developer forums for practical knowledge.

    This approach ensures a smooth transition from ERP API development to blockchain API development while building essential expertise.

    Are you sure? This action cannot be undone.
