The AWS Developers Podcast

In this episode, Dave chats with Nader Dabit, Developer Relations Engineer at

Edge & Node. In his career, Nader has worn the hats of a web developer, mobile

developer, AWS cloud developer, and now Web3 developer. Nader is the author behind many of

the popular, free, developer guides for the Web3 space including: The Complete Guide to Full

Stack Web3 Development, The Complete Guide to Full Stack Ethereum Development, and The

Complete Guide to Full Stack Solana Development. In part one of this two-part conversation,

Nader shares getting started with a full-time career as a developer coming from almost no

technical background. He then covers the vision of what Web3 is, and regardless of your

exposure to blockchain, how Web3 will ultimately benefit everyone.

Note: This episode is an attempt to cover the developer benefits of Web3. It does not
