Companies Phone Directory
We made a company directory in a team of 3, it was the first time we worked with NEAR, it has 3 methods, one for registring a company and just needs the creator, name of the company and phone number. One to show all of them, and one for searching by name. We made the demo on live.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does this cost?
Nothing, the course is absolutely free. The only thing you pay is your attention
I have zero time for all this. Can I just binge on some deep work on my own?
Hell yes! Contact us to discuss your future project
Do you care if I cheat?
No, in fact cheating is encouraged. Let’s get one thing straight: if you’re serious about learning, the fastest way from here to there is to meet people, ask questions, look at some answers, look at even more answers, copy some examples, break things and finally, if you’re lucky, learn something new.
As long as you’re honest about what you’re doing, you’re always welcome here.
Just don’t take credit for others people’s work because that’s lame
Do I need a Mac?
MacOS and Linux will be the easiest operating systems to use.
Windows may prove challenging but if you’re ok with that, please join us. You should install WSL before we meet since we’ll be using NodeJS applications like NEAR CLI
How do I know if I’m winning?
There’s no such thing as winning here because we’re all lost. Welcome, friend
When moon?!
Please don’t

Let's build the Open Web!
NEAR is secure enough to manage high value assets like money, assets and identity while being performant and affordable enough to make things useful for everyday people.
Technically speaking, NEAR is a layer 1 smart contract platform (like Ethereum but cheaper and faster) that scales by parallelizing storage and compute using a technique called “sharding”.
