This Bootcamp by @Aptos_Afric is a virtual training camp designed to help beginners or interested developers get started with the Move language. Move is the core smart contract language of @Aptos, inspired by Rust, emphasizing resource management and security, and can avoid common contract vulnerabilities, such as reentrancy attacks. The Bootcamp is called CTRL+MOVE, which sounds cool and feels like saying 'take control of your Move journey.' It is not just a casual online course; it is personally guided by mentors from @AptosLabs, starting from basic syntax and gradually progressing to practical ideas for building Crypto applications.
From Africa's perspective, Crypto is on the verge of explosion there. Africa has a large young population, and the usage rates of mobile payments and cryptocurrencies are high, with countries like Nigeria and Kenya showing strong crypto adoption. However, technical educational resources are relatively scarce, and many potential developers lack opportunities for systematic learning. Aptos Africa, through this Bootcamp, not only teaches technology but also emphasizes community connection. You can discuss ideas and exchange experiences with builders from all over Africa. This is not just about learning code; it is more like building a local Crypto network. Imagine, after learning Move, you could develop DApps that address African pain points, such as cross-border remittance tools or decentralized identity systems, which would have a huge impact.
Of course, it's best to have some programming background before participating, such as having knowledge of Rust or other languages, otherwise it might be a bit challenging to keep up. But even if you are a complete beginner, don't worry, Aptos's documentation and community resources are abundant, and the Bootcamp should start from scratch. Oh, by the way, there are only a few days left until it starts (today is August 21), so hurry up and register, don't miss out. In short, this event makes me think that the future of Crypto is not only in Silicon Valley or Asia; Africa's vitality will bring more surprises.
