Not my first attempt to dig into ZK thing but with RareSkills. It was my first successful attempt. The rest of the things like old materials that they have on YouTube have marks and signs. Of course they didn't provide me more programmers experience, I'd say. So it was more like math related rather than programming related. In RareSkills. It's both sides. You have no math to the programming, which is great, because I am a programmer, I'm a software engineer for many years. Definitely can recommend to do all homework as fast as you can. Otherwise it's way too hard to catch up with the course. Although it's like well structured it covers all necessary topics. So for me it was great. asd

Overall, my experience with RareSkills was really great. I thought the material was paced very well. I really enjoyed that we had the pre-course material to ensure everyone was on the same page when they started. I found Jeff to be a knowledgeable teacher and always willing to answer students' questions, including my own. I also really liked the opportunities to help each other out via the Slack channel. The entire Slack experience was really nice as well.So, yeah, I would definitely recommend it to anyone. Honestly, it exceeded my expectations. I felt there would be a lot less live content and opportunity for interactive learning than there was, so I was pleasantly surprised by that.RareSkills Bootcamp impacted my career in two main ways. First and foremost, during my day job, it makes me a lot more confident in discussing these types of topics. There are a number of ZKP use cases, especially in Layer 2 networks in Ethereum. So, working in web3 infrastructure, it’s definitely valuable in every regard.And then, the second piece of that is that it’s helped me explore other cryptography topics, get deeper on zero-knowledge proofs, and even things outside of that, by enhancing my ability to read academic papers and things like that. This hopefully will eventually culminate in me founding my own company, as this was actually partly another impetus for me joining this, as I’m looking at applications of cryptography to certain other industries.To someone considering joining it, I would say just go for it. Zero-knowledge proofs are such a nascent thing that it’s going to be really hard to cobble together your own learnings from blog posts and things like that. I mean, even the excellent ones provided in RareSkills' ZKP book, it’s going to be really helpful for you to have Jeff walk you through it, to be able to talk to your classmates. It just helps it stick and it really helps give you the confidence in your experience, whereas doing it yourself maybe you have some doubts, no one else has looked at your work, that type of thing. It’s definitely a good way to learn with confidence.

Learning at RareSkills was an awesome experience. Jeffrey is the instructor I learned from, has a really deep knowledge of web3 technologies like solidity or zero knowledge proofs. One-on-one reviews with him were really helpful. More-over i’ve met amazing classmates, they always did their best to help me and were really kind.Next week i will start my new job as a web3 security auditor. Learning solidity and solidity security at RareSkills helped me to obtain this work for sure.

I joined a web3 company about a year ago and had to write some Solidity contracts as part of the job. I quickly realised how important it is to really understand how the EVM and Solidity works if you wanted to deploy real production grade contracts for users. I wanted a structured learning program which went really deep into the weeds and found Rareskills!The course really exceeded my expectations. Each module pointed you to great resources you should learn from + had difficult assignment questions you could only solve if you understood the resources really well. Each week also had a call with the instructor and all the others in your class which was super fun. I really enjoyed discussing what I learnt and clarifying my questions with all the other students. The weekly 1-1 calls with the instructor was great too! Your code gets properly reviewed.It's awesome to know how things work under the hood and Rareskills helped me achieve that. I can notice security issues, understand audit reports, write and debug yul, think of gas optimisation and a lot more quite easily. The confidence of knowing things a lot deeper like this is quite nice.Be prepared to put in a significant amount of work and time into the course though. The modules are not easy. But thats what makes it fun!

Hi I joined ZK bootcamp and was really insightful to clear out various key concepts associated with zero knowledge at a fundamental level and i would highly recommend this course for any one who wants to foray in to the domain of zero knowledge.Overall learning was pin pointed. In classroom learning was to focused and jeff would come back to core points if we did mistakes. On Community note its simply vibrantIt helped me understand zk and zk associated cryptography in depth. It surely sharpened my skills in domains and help me understand zk related security issues also in depth. Yes its a must for those entering zk

Hey, I’m Sam. I just finished the RareSkills ZK Bootcamp, and it's not only about a Groth16 proof system from start to finish, but it really taught me the skills and a bit of experience to implement a crypto research paper in Python. For me, that was the most exciting part, and the real nugget that I came away with. The cohorts as well, such a high caliber, the people, their experience, and just the motivation behind everyone in the course, brings me up higher and I think everyone else up as well. It’s very exciting, and I can’t recommend it enough. Thanks!

I recently completed the Advanced Solidity program, and I wanted to share my thoughts on the program with you. To begin with, I must say that I was thoroughly impressed with the program. Despite having five years of experience in Blockchain, I learned a great deal from it. The program covered a range of topics, including EVM bytecode, security, testing, mutation, assembly, and optimization, to name a few. What I particularly loved about the program was its emphasis on real-world applications. We identified and addressed security issues that could potentially occur in smart contracts, making the program all the more practical and relevant. Overall, I would highly recommend this program to anyone looking to take their skills to the next level. The team behind it is incredibly knowledgeable, and they have a great way of making learning fun and engaging. Thank you for equipping me with the necessary skills, and I look forward to applying what I've learned in my future endeavors.

I have joined the web3 a couple of years ago. I joined the bootcamp because I wanted to extend my Solidity knowledge and I couldn’t find a suitable advanced content elsewhere.My learning experience was great and I think that the materials exceeded my expectations. Because I learnt a lot about solidity which I didn’t know it exists. I prefer the content like this, like in notion, not just some videos to watch over and over again. The sessions with my mentor also , he was very skilled and he helped me a lot.It was a positive impact. I already used the knowledge from the Solidity bootcamp, I even will participate in the ZK Bootcamp next. So those advanced solidity knowledge were very very helpful. I find the course page, I read it and I like realized that that’s what I need exactly in that moment of my career.
