Builder paths scaffold

Editorial paths are already modeled in the app layer.

Each path has its own slug, description, accent, and ordered list of glossary terms. That keeps the later onboarding mode small and easy to iterate on.

Path sequence

Follow the terms in order and branch deeper when needed.

The path is sequenced to reduce context switching. Start at the top, open each term, and use related links when a concept needs more depth.

Path

Anchor Builder Path

Start with the abstractions most teams rely on to ship programs fast.

Ideal for

Builders shipping with Anchor, IDLs, and account validation patterns.

Outcome

You finish with a practical mental model for how Anchor structures Solana development.

Ideal for

Developers debugging execution, performance, scheduling, and validator behavior.

Outcome

You understand how runtime concepts fit together before touching deeper optimization work.

Outcome

You leave with the core glossary needed to ground LLM and tooling conversations in Solana terms.
