Explore how move, inspired by Rust, aims to provide secure, high-performance, platform-agnostic blockchain development, potentially rivaling Solidity, as it gains open-source adoption across Aptos and Star Coin.
Set up Visual Studio Code and Aptos Move Analyzer, check hardware with DirectX diagnostics, ensure 4 GB RAM and 10 GB of free space, and install Git for Move compiler.
Learn to compile, publish, and deploy a simple Move project to the blockchain, including creating a message resource in a module, configuring addresses, and interacting with the explorer on testnet.
Explore move modules and scripts, global storage, and how modules define data schemas and resources while scripts invoke module functions to interact with on chain storage.
Explore move fundamentals through a three-step learning loop: keywords, syntax, and practice. Master imports with the use keyword, testing with the debug module, and writing readable code.
Explore Move data types, including primitive (unsigned integers u8 to u256, booleans, addresses) and non-primitive (vector, string via module, tuples, unit), plus notes on no built-in signed or floating types.
Explore vectors as non primitive, contiguous, homogeneous data collections; learn to create them, import the vector module, and use push back, pop back, contains, swap, and append.
Explore Move operators, mastering arithmetic operations (add, subtract, multiply, divide, modulo) on integers and relational operators that yield booleans, including comparisons on addresses with equals and not equals.
Explore how to define and use functions in C, pass parameters, and return values, and learn how function names and calls boost readability and maintainability.
Explore how Move structs gain abilities like drop, copy, store, and key to control lifetime, persistence, and global storage of data on the blockchain.
Build a Move calculator contract that performs core operations—addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division—and stores each user's result as a global resource, with easy interaction via the explorer.
Looking to master Move programming? Whether you're taking your first steps into blockchain development or you're a seasoned coder, this course breaks down everything you need to know about Move programming - from the ground up.
We kick things off with the basics - getting your development environment set up and running. Don't worry if you're new to this; we'll walk through every step together. From there, we'll dive into what makes Move special, exploring its unique features that set it apart from other programming languages.
This isn't your typical "watch and forget" course. We've carefully structured each lesson to build on what you've learned before. You'll start with the fundamentals of Move, like data types and control structures, before tackling more challenging concepts such as resource handling and smart contract development.
Speaking of smart contracts - you'll learn how to write, test, and deploy them safely. Security is a big deal in blockchain development, so we've dedicated entire sections to best practices and common pitfalls to avoid. You'll learn how to handle errors properly and write code that's not just functional, but secure.
The real magic happens when we get to the hands-on projects. Throughout the course, you'll work on real-world examples that put your skills to the test. By the time you reach the capstone project, you'll be building full-fledged decentralized applications with confidence.
Here's what sets this course apart: we don't just throw theory at you. Every concept is backed by practical examples and real-world applications. Whether you're coming from Web2 development, starting fresh in programming, or already familiar with blockchain, you'll find value in each lesson.
By the end of this journey, you'll have mastered Move's resource-oriented programming model, understood its type system inside and out, and gained practical experience in blockchain development. You won't just know how to write Move code - you'll understand why you're writing it the way you are.
