🧑‍🚀 Subgraph Developer Bootcamp 🥾 - Grant Proposal

A complete bootcamp for new developers to start shipping 🚢 subgraphs. Created and led by experienced Raid Guild DAO members. 3 workshops w/ Q+A, a fork-able "hacker kit" for getting started quickly, presentation slides, and open office hours will all be available for The Graph community.

Goals

  1. Train and equip 150+ developers with the resources to deliver turn-key subgraph solutions.

  2. Establish best-practices to reduce demand for dev support, and reduce occurance of common pitfalls/issues.

  3. Start a dialogue between Raid Guild & The Graph.

Deliverables

All materials will be open-sourced and communicated widely (RG twitter, RG newsletter, etc.)

  • (3) YouTube videos: code-along workshops with Q+A (presented live for Raid Guild developers)
  • "Hacker kit" Repo: Quickstart guide, template subgraphs, docs + troubleshooting, and more!
  • Blog Post: Intro and guide for completing bootcamp
  • (3) Open Office Hours Sessions: Discord chat session with 1-2 instructors which are open to everyone
