Plus, it has a wealth of developer tooling, tutorials, and documentation. Ready for the best bit? If you’re a Python or TypeScript dev, you don’t need to learn a new language because you can build on Algorand in Python and TypeScript. It’s easy to get building thanks to [AlgoKit](https://developer.algorand.org/algokit/?utm_source=devportal&utm_medium=bootcamp_landingpage&utm_campaign=algokit) (our solution to speed up your Web3 building process).
