In collaboration with the [Zircuit](https://www.zircuit.com/) development team,
we are excited to announce the release of [a course on Halo2 development](https://halo2.zksecurity.xyz).
Unlike the excellent [Halo2 book](https://zcash.github.io/halo2/) which focuses on the proof system itself,
this course focuses on teaching Rust developers how to *develop* Halo2 circuits from scratch --
without any prior knowledge of Halo2, PlonK or developing circuits for zkSNARKs required.
You don't need to be a cryptographer to follow along!
We start from the *very basics* and build up to more complex circuits with lookups, challenges and more.
At the end of the course, you should become a true Halo Hero!

All code in the course comes with complete runnable examples
available in the accompanying [GitHub repository](https://github.com/zksecurity/halo2-course).
This means that any code snippet in the course can be run as a self-contained example!

Get started with Halo2 development today at [halo2.zksecurity.xyz](https://halo2.zksecurity.xyz).
