## About this lesson
27+
28+
Welcome to this lesson on creating a series of NFTs using Solidity smart contracts with a range of developer tools. If you are new to programming, we recommend you first complete our *Getting Started with Smart Contract Development* project, where you can learn the basics of Solidity and the some of the concepts we use in this lesson. We alst have a series of follow-up projects to this one, the next one being *TierNFTs*, but let's not get ahead of ourselves just yet.

We have some checkpoint questions for you throughout the lesson for testing either your previous knowledge, predicting next steps in the lesson, or letting you see for yourself how well you're absorbing the new content. Needless to say, there's a quiz at the end, so make sure you're checking out all the side-drawers for a deeper dive of the new concepts. To complete the lesson, expect somewhere between two and six hours depending on your previous experience and the need to learn new ideas. Let's make developing enjoyable, so take care of your well-being - we have a pomodoro timer ⌛ for you in the menu header to let you ensure you’re taking regular breaks, and please *do* go outside and 'touch some grass'😊.
