Stellar has been praised for it’s clean and organized documentation. Perhaps that is influenced by Stripe, a company known for easy-to-use APIs, who has team members invested in Stellar.
Perhaps you are a developer but do not necessarily want to get coding immediately. You can check out the Use Cases on their website.
Since this is a syllabus, we do not want to repeat the documentation and guides provided by Stellar. We recommend you first read the Get Started Guide available. Once you go through all aspects of that, you can check out some third-party resources we provide in this section.
In order to help you learn without using actual Lumens, Stellar sets up an entire test network, so you can play around with their documentation and use test Lumens.
Their organization on Github also has a lot of content. You can browse through their repositories, and almost all of them provide great documentation.
As a way to distribute Lumens, Stellar runs Build Challenges. For example, they gave out 5.7 million Lumens in the 5th Build Challenge. Check out some of the cool applications made! We are not sure how long these challenges will last, but for now they are posted every few months. It’s a great incentive for developers to learn how to build applications using Stellar.
Along with the build challenges, Stellar offers a grant partnership program. If you are an organization looking to build on the Stellar Network, you could receive Lumens for your project.
