A total of <strong>725 developers<\/strong> from all over the world signed up.\u00a0Due to limited capacity and high interest, we had to select those who attended the lectures based on the responses on the registration form. <strong>320 applicants<\/strong> were selected as Summer School students, of which <strong>141 attended the lectures live<\/strong> and <strong>179 watched the recordings<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s <strong>briefly recap the nine weeks<\/strong>, during which we tried to cover as much of the Solana ecosystem as possible.<\/p>\n<p>We started with an introduction to <a href=\"https:\/\/solana.com\/\">Solana<\/a>, talked about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rust-lang.org\/\">Rust<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.anchor-lang.com\/\">Anchor Framework<\/a> &amp; NFTs, showed the programming model, and also discussed security.

Although the conditions for obtaining it\u00a0were quite strict (students had to complete the task assigned in the 6th week and the maximum absence throughout the course was 2 lectures), a total of<strong> 46 students completed the course.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800080;\"><strong>Does it sound interesting to you?<\/strong><\/span> <strong>Good news!
