# NU Dev Track- tl;dr

Welcome back to another tldr with me, Ben

Today I want to tell you about NEAR University's learning path for developers

## Overview

If you're a react developer, or really just a front end developer, check out near.university

and click on the React Developer path in the Learning Paths section of the footer.

From there you'll see some opportunities to take a self-paced course or you can dive right into building your first web3 application.

## What Does This Mean?

If you're web3 curious

You can upgrade your existing web2 project to web3 with just a few lines of code

And you'll be able to do things like leverage tokens,

and other digital assets, along with general blockchain activity

## How Does This Work?

By integrating NEAR wallet into your front end,

your users can log into your site with their NEAR accounts, much like they would with any other federated login like google or apple id.

but you'll be able to offer a wider range of features you couldn't do with just their email.

Offer token rewards

Receive donations

Allow token swapping in your application

verify previous activities outside your app

offer subscription services without requiring them to input all their personal details

And this is all using the same languages and syntax you're used to

## Other Opportunities

The Dev track at NEAR University doesn't stop at code snippets.

Discover open react jobs, grants, courses, and other huge opportunities.

And NEAR University has an incredible feedback loop. This means the features get better and better.

So sign up for their updates and

make sure to click that blue feedback button on the site when you do visit, because your thoughts on this are incredibly important, and only help us improve.

## Conclusions

If you want to get your feet wet with web3, now is the time to start building on NEAR.

NEAR has cutting edge technology with Guaranteed uptime

Resources are plentiful so there's low competition - so much low hangin fruit

Transactions are dirt cheap, and environmentally sustainable

And most importantly, NEAR has the best developer onboarding experience, with an amazing active community.

So get involved today!
