Hey!

You can speak to peers in the NEAR University programme and learn together on their Discord here:

> Check out the (ARCHIVED) NEAR University community on Discord - hang out with 5029 other members and enjoy free voice and text chat.

If you haven’t checked out NEAR Academy yet, it might be a good idea to start there:

> **[Near Academy](https://near.academy/)**
>
> NEAR Academy is an interactive introduction course for web developers looking to explore blockchain integration to their Apps. It is free, and it hands a completion certificate.

It’s a little more interactive. That said, you might still need some developer experience to get the most value out of it
