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.

GithubExcellent course to build the fundamentals. Both Instructors are rally amazing
Instruction is very good, helpful support.
Gives a very good intro to the various important topics in the world of NEAR Protocol and blockchain.
This course was amazing. I knew nothing about blockchain before starting the course. Now I have a good foundational understanding to take the next step in my blockchain journey.
I enjoyed, loved, and learned from this course.
Videos and tutorial are so informative.
I liked a lot, interesting, and funny sometimes, a very good experience of learning.
A good intro to the whole NEAR Protocol, crypto and smart contract world.
A great journey indeed! Completed the course in 2 days and now will be exploring how I can apply this to build my own application.
Very well structured course.

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”.
