Plutus

Logo Cardano Developers Search Plutus Pioneer Program We have recently launched our new program to train developers as certified Plutus pioneers! Applications for the first cohort of the program are now closed. However, we continue welcoming applications from developers for future courses we shall be running later this year. What is the Plutus pioneer program? It is a program to recruit and train developers in Plutus for the Cardano ecosystem. When you join this program, you will become part of a group with early access to a set of courses that teach you the core principles of how to code in both Haskell and Plutus. It will be highly interactive, with weekly videos, exercises, and Q&A sessions, along with exclusive access to the creators and key experts in the language. You will also be able to join a dedicated community channel, created to help pioneers connect to each other as you learn. What prior experience do I need? This course is not for coding beginners. While you do not need to be an expert in formal methods, programming experience and a general aptitude for logical and mathematical thinking are highly desirable. Some prior knowledge of Haskell or functional programming is also recommended, as Plutus is heavily based on Haskell and includes advanced features like Template Haskell, type-level programming, and effect systems. We recommend that you read the Learn You a Haskell guide before taking the course. Please register your interest using the form below. What can I expect to learn? This course involves approximately ten hours a week of your time and efforts. It covers the building blocks of Haskell and Plutus, including: Functions and data types Type classes Monads Template Haskell Using the Plutus Playground Extended UTXO model Working with Plutus (on and off the chain) Minting policies State machines The Plutus application framework Some case studies and practical exercises. As with all learning experiences, the more you put in the more you will get out! When does it start? Our first ten-week program started in early April and will run through to mid-June. Depending on demand, we plan to open up a second cohort this summer, so please register your interest today to hear more in due course. How can I register for the Plutus pioneer program? If you are interested in joining a future cohort of the program, please complete the registration form below. You will receive a short application form, and we will be in touch in due course. Will I be certified? Yes, we will be awarding certificates to those pioneers who successfully complete the entire program. Certificates will be represented as non-fungible tokens (NFTs) (on the testnet) and locked by a Plutus contract. Pioneers can demonstrate their qualification by constructing an appropriate transaction to unlock their individual token. Yes, I'm interested! Please share your details and we will be in touch when we have fresh course dates to offer.
