The purpose of Studio isn’t to switch or compete with the intensive web-based studying experiences already accessible for Ethereum. As a substitute, we would like Studio to be a simple first-step to interact a developer and get them hooked earlier than directing them to different sources, instruments, or occasions to proceed their journey into Ethereum.
To construct Ethereum Studio, we collaborated with Superblocks. We will’t thank the Superblocks staff sufficient for the onerous work they’ve put into this instrument. We additionally need to thank many others who made this venture doable: Andreas Wallendahl, Chris Ward, Robbie Bent, Martin Tellechea, and the many individuals who supplied suggestions and strategies.
