Knowledge, Learning, Community

This is a fine example of informal learning. Haseeb Qureshi steps the reader through a series of references and resources that will take you to a decent understanding of blockchain (if you master all of this, you could probably get a job in the field). The pedagogy is far from perfect (at one point he says " I recommend watching more than one video explanation to get the idea seared into your head", which isn't exactly how learning works) but there's plenty of hands-on work (for example: "I recommend working through all of the CryptoZombies tutorial... (a) Codecademy-esque tutorial" and "The 'hello world' of Ethereum is building an ERC-20 compliant token. I recommend this guide as a first tutorial to walk you through the process." This isn't light work; it could take months, maybe years, to complete all this. But that's part of the point: informal learning isn't just reading some things and watching some videos. It's hard.
