Aztec sandbox developer handbook

[critesjosh]

This is going to focused on the aspects of building--no high level explainers of how to do things. High level explanations should link back to docs pages. Much of this content is already written. For content that is already exists, link to it--for content that does not exist yet, create an issue and maybe write it.

The goal is to reduce the on-boarding time to Aztec to 1 week.

• Before wave 3 we need to create a handbook of existing repos and research on the design space
  • Includes Forum posts, github repos, and relevant public info
  • aggregate info from previous notes/ discord discussions
• Dont want new partners to reinvent anything
• Complete this by the end of Q1
• Can be a list of references
• Can be a single page document that lives in docs.aztec.network

Sections:

• Installing tooling
• Writing your first contract
  • writing (role of Aztec.nr)
  • compiling and deploying
  • testing
  • debugging
• Understanding the note lifecycle (as an exercise)
• understanding the transaction lifecycle (walking through code examples)
• The role of the PXE
• Authentication witness
• Common patterns
  • validate private inputs in public
  • common patterns doc page
  • nullifying inputs on note creation (ensure unique notes)
  • sharing notes
  • Callback pattern (defi wonderland)
  • moving data from public to private
• Intro to account abstraction
  • writing account contracts
• Portals
