Probably the most constant solutions we’ve obtained for Ethereum.org is to enhance the developer expertise. Whereas the positioning pointed customers to intensive third-party sources, it lacked a compelling path that will pull a developer in direction of instantly attempting out Ethereum.
Ethereum Studio’s objective is to let builders get began constructing on Ethereum inside minutes, with as little friction as doable. Studio lets customers:

As an alternative, we would like Studio to be a straightforward first-step to have interaction a developer and get them hooked earlier than directing them to different sources, instruments, or occasions to proceed their journey into Ethereum.
To construct Ethereum Studio, we collaborated with Superblocks. We will’t thank the Superblocks group sufficient for the exhausting work they’ve put into this software. We additionally wish to thank many others who made this venture doable: Andreas Wallendahl, Chris Ward, Robbie Bent, Martin Tellechea, and the many individuals who supplied suggestions and solutions.
