- The goal of this document is to provide a reading list for learning to program Blockchain systems as well as the crucial code
- It is not meant to be comprehensive, it lists only the most useful sources
The document is split into two major sections: Content and Code
- The Content section contains a reading list of mostly technical documents for Blockchain development
- The Code section contains a list of open-source blockchain and bitcoin projects
- WIP: send suggestions to @FrantaPolach or open a GitHub issue
