There is a lack of documentation and practical examples for new developers
We propose a series of videos to be uploaded on youtube explaining the technical concept of it assuming no background experience in blockchain (though targets are developers)
This is the total amount allocated to plu-ts - 0 to full Cardano dApp tutorial/documentation. 1 out of 4 milestones are completed.

No dependencies.
Project will be fully open source.
We are planning to produce an in-depth course with a practical approach to dApp development.
The content of the course should be easy to understand and should push the viewer to actively follow the content.
Catalyst Open's intentions are to cover any possible proposal that doesn't fit existing challenges.
We feel this is the best place for this kind of educational content.
The outcome of the project will be published on youtube and examples will be public on github.
The success of the project can be measured both in total views the course will get and number of forks / stars of the repository containig the related projects.
As specified above; everything will be on youtube, for publishing Michele's channel will be used.
also, the most important videos will be shared using Michele's twitter account.
Michele will be responisble of creating the educational material (the videos)
John will take care of editing; making sure the content is easy to follow.
The goal is to generate quality content to point new developers to when approaching cardano.
We'll take each of the videos to produce as milestone, this also works as a list of deliverables for the project.
Part 1: Practical Itroduction to the UTxO model (simple tx creation)
Part 2: Scripts of any kind
Part 3: Plutus Scripts interface
Part 4: Plutus deep dive
Part 5: (Project) Auction contract
Part 6: Common Patterns
Part 7: (Project) NFT vending machine
each of the videos listed above can be considered deliverables.
The total amount required for the project is estimated to be 56068 ADA.
It has been calculated as follows.
Each of the videos will require approximately 4 hours of work for editing and another 4 hours of work for the recording and review process, for a total of 8 hours of work each.
40 $/h after taxes is the amount agreed upon between the proposers;
Taking into consideration a 22% standard tax due to VAT (see source on agenzia delle entrate)
40 · (100 / (100 - 22)) =
40 · 100 / 78 =
4000 / 78 ~= 51,282 $/h
so the estimated total cost of the project in dollar value is calculated using the hourly cost, times the estimated 8 hours per video, times 41 scheduled videos:
51,282 · 8 · 41 = 16,820.496 $
for simplicity we'll assume a conversion rate of 0,3 $/ADA; or equivalently 3,3333 ADA/$ (10/3)
so we convert the estimated dollar cost to ADA:
16,820.496 · 10 / 3 = 56,068.32 ADA
The educational content will help new developers get started with Cardano, without any other web3 prerequisite and with very little knowledge of programming languages in general.
Michele; maintainer of plu-ts (a typescript framework for Cardano smart contracts and transaction creation) will take care of the creation of the contents;
John will take care of editing and ensuring the quality of the final product.
