<h1>About the Listing &amp; Scope</h1>The Solana Foundation has recently moved a bunch of Solana lessons from <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://soldev.app/course">soldev.app/course</a> to <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://solana.com/developers/courses">solana.com/developers/courses</a>.We need these lessons (and a few more - see the list below!) updated for newer software and Solana Foundation’s writing standards.<h2>Your mission:</h2><ol><li>Pick one or more of the lessons in the list ("The Lesson List") below.</li><li>Read and follow the course <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://github.com/solana-foundation/developer-content/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md">contributing guide</a>. These cover the English writing style you should use, the programming conventions for both TypeScript and Rust, how to make diagrams, and much more. Your task is to update the lesson(s) you’re working on to use current software and meet the contributing guide.</li><li>Update the lesson!</li></ol><h2>Why?</h2>Solana Foundation want to make sure our courses:<ul><li>Work out of the box, with no changes necessary, so people can focus on learning and building.</li><li>Have the simplest, most readable code.</li><li>Use the current versions of web3.js, Anchor, the Solana CLI, Metaplex MPL token metadata, and other dependencies.</li></ul>Since these lessons were created, there have been several changes in the developer ecosystem, including:<ul><li>Anchor has new features (like INIT_SPACE) and a standard way to layout larger projects (the multiple files template)</li><li>New versions of JavaScript and TypeScript mean we can focus on building our app, and avoid things like async function wrappers, .then() chaining, and various other pre-ES2017 techniques.</li><li>We have new tools like @solana-developer/helpers and @solana-developers/create-solana-dapp, allowing students to avoid many tasks that previously required extra code or steps.</li><li>@metaplex-foundation/js has been replaced by @metaplex-foundation/mpl-token-metadata</li><li>We have new <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://github.com/solana-foundation/developer-content/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md">contributing guidelines</a> that help Solana Foundation content look more consistent</li><li>External software like React has had updates too.</li></ul>We want our lessons, including example code and solutions to reflect these changes!<h1>Rewards</h1>400 USDC per lesson if accepted<h1>Judging Criteria</h1><ul><li>Does the updated lesson work with the latest stable Solana, Anchor, Mobile Wallet Adapter, and other dependencies?</li><li>Have you followed the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://github.com/solana-foundation/developer-content/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md">contributing guidelines</a>? For example, the guidelines mention using Anchor’s INIT_SPACE rather than adding magic numbers together, running Grammarly, and how to format your code, use Callout boxes and more.</li><li>Have you updated screenshots and diagrams if necessary?</li><li>Have you created PRs to update any third party repos used in the lesson?</li></ul><h1>Submission Requirements</h1><ul><li>Follow the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://github.com/solana-foundation/developer-content/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md">contributing guide</a>. We’ll reject contributions that don’t match the guide.</li><li>Make sure all the software and examples you use are current! This isn’t just Solana code, but also external dependencies like React.</li><li>Your submission will be in the form of a PR to <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://github.com/solana-foundation/developer-content">https://github.com/solana-foundation/developer-content</a>. Note: some of the courses have code in repos from our friends at Unboxed Software, at <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://github.com/unboxed-software">github.com/unboxed-software</a> - if so, you’ll need to send a PR to update that code as part of updating the lessons. Please add a link to these external PRs in your main PR!</li><li>Submit your main PR link to Superteam Earn</li></ul>Reach out to @mikemaccana on Telegram for questions!<h1>The Lesson List</h1>You can see these in production at <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://solana.com/developers/courses/(course">https://solana.com/developers/courses/(course</a> name)/(lesson name). Note: you won’t see all of these at <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://solana.com/developers/courses">https://solana.com/developers/courses</a> because we’ve hidden
