  2. 2Guided course: build a crowdfunding dAppBeginnerBuild a real projectBuild, test and ship a real NEAR dApp step by step — pledges, deadlines, refunds, token pledges, events, tests, deploy and a web frontend.12 lessons~150 min36 questions
  3. 3Libraries & SDKsReferencePick your toolsThe verified NEAR toolbox — contract SDKs, testing, JS/Rust/Python clients, CLI, indexers and cross-chain.7 lessons~35 min21 questions
  4. 4NEPs explainedIntermediateSpeak the standardsThe NEAR standards — NEP-141, 171, 245, 297, 413 and more — in plain words, with method tables and code.15 lessons~85 min45 questions
  5. 5Async & cross-contract patternsAdvancedThink in receiptsPromises, callbacks, joins, batches, yield/resume and rollback-safe designs — NEAR’s asynchronous model in depth.10 lessons~125 min30 questions
