RHIZOME, an ICON blockchain network Public Representative (P-Rep), has announced the upcoming launch of ICON CORE, a developer-focused portal and toolset designed to improve the process of onboarding developers to the ICON blockchain.
ICON offers a variety of software development kits (SDKs) in various languages including Python, Javascript, Java, Swift, C#, C++, and PHP. The goal of ICON CORE is to extend the basic documentation available on icondev.io by providing a well-documented codebase for a variety of real-world applications of the ICON blockchain in various programming languages.
Use-Case
“The use case is clear. Imagine you are a Swift developer who is interested in developing on the ICON blockchain. You see a Python-based tutorial, but can’t find the equivalent material written for Swift. At this point, you may choose to either learn a little Python, or move on to another task. With ICON CORE, the goal is to remove the potential for friction in the learning process, and to make development on ICON more accessible for developers of all backgrounds.”
– The RHIZOME Team
To start, ICON CORE will focus on building an initial list of mini-projects in Python, Javascript, Swift, and .NET, as these four programming languages cover a large range of developers worldwide. At a later stage, it will incorporate the remaining SDKs, and provide localized versions of the portal in various languages.
