Create a Beginner-Friendly 15-Mins Smart Contract Deployment Tutorial

[devendran-m]

Problem Statement:

The current Casper documentation's "Getting Started" and "Quickstart" guides assume a significant level of prior knowledge in blockchain concepts and Rust, making it difficult for new developers to onboard efficiently. Additionally, the quickstart guide lacks a tangible, goal-oriented outcome, such as successfully deploying a smart contract within a short timeframe, which increases the learning curve and hampers developer engagement.

User Story:

As a new developer,
I want a beginner-friendly tutorial to deploy a smart contract on the Casper network within 15 minutes,
So that I can quickly get hands-on experience and overcome the steep learning curve of blockchain and Rust development.

Acceptance Criteria:

Tutorial Content:

• The tutorial must provide a step-by-step, beginner-friendly guide for deploying a smart contract on Casper.
• The tutorial should include foundational concepts for developers unfamiliar with blockchain or Rust.

Time to Completion:

• Following the tutorial should enable a user to deploy a smart contract within 15 minutes.

Accessibility:

• The tutorial should reduce complexity by incorporating best practices identified in the audit.
• The language and structure of the guide must cater to developers with minimal blockchain or Rust experience.

Feedback and Iteration:

• The draft tutorial must be reviewed and approved by stakeholders, ensuring alignment with Casper’s vision for developer engagement.
