Hey Zeyad! Thank you for the material. I set up my development environment yesterday! I have a few questions about the issues. Would you recommend starting with issues labeled as "beginner" or skimming through the most recent issues and trying to pick one I think I can handle? Also, do you have any material recommendations for understanding basic banking logic?
