I started my Bitcoin and blockchain journey almost a year back and learnt and lot of new concepts and the philosophy guiding the industry. In the past year, I have mainly learned about different terminology and what they mean. I have invested and traded into cryptocurrency and I think I know enough to have a layman view about the technology.

I have been wanting to take a plunge into the development aspect of blockchain and learn how to understand the setting up of nodes, understanding all the technical jargon that is thrown on this board (about random numbers, multisig and all other things that regularly come up on this board). How do I go about it? Is there some kind of course designed on this? Or is doing the best way of learning?

I would love to hear out the community on this. Specially from this board.

maybe you should ask someone who understands technicality, here is a board to ask

While others recommend stackexchange or documentation which is more suitable for developer or those who've learned the basic, i would recommend start by reading technical books such as Mastering Bitcoin which have better structure (organized)

This more of technical knowledge and I think the section that fits you to start with is on Development & Technical Discussion.

Only if you have specific topic/question, OP's question have very broad answer

In your rank now I definitely would say that you are good in terms of dedication in learning about in bitcoin or crypto here dude.
I've been here for a years but never understand even a single bit about the nodes you are talking about but for you, upon setting up nodes you knew already. It is actually more in technical that you wanna know dude, why don't you ask it in technical discussion mate.

pooya suggestion is good. I think you should draw the line on what topics you're going to learn. For example, learning how to run a node or understanding what node importance and how to prove its importance is 3 different topics. Learning what multisig is, how it is counted, and why it works that way is also a different 'language'.

My suggestion is this:
- Start with learning the basic how-to-do-it like making multisig, running a node, get familiar with the command and so on.
- After you've done that, go further (if you want to) with learning their fundamentals. For a signature, for example, learn the basic, learn how to count it, how to count it, experiment on your own, and so on.

You'll probably need a lot of time doing the first step, so just take a note on what topics that interest you. That way, you can learn with your curiosity, and eventually, learn new things (even though it might be backward at some point).

If your goal is just to learn or get an experience about making a blockchain on your own, then you can just start with learning the gist of blockchain and then use Javascript-based code to generate your own blockchain (there's a Youtube video about it iirc).

it is best to first decide how much you want to learn and how deep you are willing to go because this is a rabbit hole that if you enter, sometimes it seems like there is no end to it. for example if you start learning about signatures, that would be ECDSA and you will have to learn about elliptic curve cryptography and then you will have to learn modular arithmetic and a ton of new math theories that go into that.
but if you wanted to just know the general idea then you could skip all that. and making that decision can change the way you read all these resources too. for instance you can skip a lot of the parts if you want to have some idea how things work but you will need to read a lot more resources than just bitcoin wiki or developers reference (https://bitcoin.org/en/developer-reference) if you wanted to know more.

This more of technical knowledge and I think the section that fits you to start with is on Development & Technical Discussion.

It contains threads that might get your attention as you surf the whole board.

You can also ask things that confuses you with the technical side on Beginners & Help.
