Documentation assumes too much prior knowledge

[SimonJamesOdell]

Hi guys, as requested over on discord here is a summary of the feedback I offered regarding the documenation.

• The docs assume various prerequisite knowledge, such as knowing what "Ganache" is and whether it's going to be used or not.
• The learning curve is somewhat steep without an overview of the programming and architechtural landscape that Moralis occupies.

I suggest adding a section entitled something like "Prerequisite Knowledge" which gives a breif overview of how you expect Moralis to be used and what technologies are needed / recommended to be used with it, along with some links to further reading. The information can probably safely assume the reader has a firm understanding on a modern javascript stack, but should not assume they are familiar with the cryptosphere technologies.

This is a great suggestion. I've added an intro section and will go through the Web3 stuff and add more introductory comments... any other specific suggestions you have would be very helpful.

Great! @jermay i have also added a Pre-Requisites tab on the docs

https://docs.moralis.io/pre-requisites

@SimonJamesOdell let us know if we could add something more or we are missing something!

Thanks for taking your time for this!

I'm guessing English is not your first language, if you want I can help by doing a pull request with some improvements to grammar and some further additions like links on the pre-requisites page.

@SimonJamesOdell Amazing!

I added the file to this repo so you can pull-request:

I've made some edits for grammar, added links and a "Software" section.

How does this look now?

If there are additional suggestions please create another issue. Will close this one.
