A question about learning and resources

What resources would you recommend for a beginner who wants to dive deeper into zk-SNARKs and other technologies used in Aztec?

For an introduction into the low level mathematics that make zk snarks work, I recommend Rareskills ZK Book.

For a more practical introduction for developers that are looking to build things using zksnarks, I recommend reviewing the content in the awesome-noir repo and going to deeper into anything listed there that piques your interest.

Thank you for your recommendations, they’re truly valuable. Does anyone have a schedule for Zak’s online talks, specifically their planned dates?

Maybe someone has a link to AI Aztec? My friend told me about it, so I’d like to test it.

Are you referring to the AI chatbot in the docs? Visit https://docs.aztec.network and click the “Ask Aztec AI” button on the bottom right of the page

Thank you very much, that’s exactly what I meant.

Hey buddy, @careydanyele401 I think you asked me about this before. Take that into consideration.

Hey hey,
thank you for the recommendations,
I like to read and learn how the the ultra honk bb prover is structured in a low level,

I tried following the documents but I couldn’t find a reference to the implementation and structure documents they are mostly about how to use the bb prover.
I would appreciate any reference in this area.

You can find the source code for bb here: aztec-packages/barretenberg at next · AztecProtocol/aztec-packages · GitHub
