Algorand School

Algorand School is an open slide deck I've built over time during my talks on Algorand's blockchain with the help of Algorand colleagues.

The goal of the deck is providing a step-by-step introduction to Algorand's technology, ecosystem and tools, in order to lower the learning curve difficulty and speed up the learning process.

Main topics of the Algorand School:

Contents

  1. Blockchain as an infrastructure
  2. Analog properties for Digital things
  3. Algorand Consensus
  4. Algorand Sustainability
  5. Algorand Networks
  6. Algorand Interoperability
  7. Algorand Transactions
  8. Algorand Accounts
  9. Algorand Standard Assets
  10. Algorand Virtual Machine
  11. Algorand Smart Contracts on Layer-1
  12. Smart Signatures & Smart Contracts
  13. TEAL
  14. PyTEAL (credits to @jasonpaulos and @matteojug)
  15. Algorand ABI (credits to @deanstef)
  16. Beaker (credits to @iskysun96)

Note

Almost all the contents presented in the Algorand School derive directly from the Algorand Developer Portal, which remains the first and most important source of information about Algorand.
