 ## Suggested Discovery Plan
 
-1. Learn to use the `gno` CLI to write and test (`gno test [PATH]`) your contracts without relying on a blockchain.
-2. Master `gnokey` for managing your account and performing transactions.
-3. Discover how to publish contracts on your local devnet.
-4. Obtain faucet tokens and publish your contracts on https://staging.gno.land or another testnet.
+1. Check out the tutorial section of [Awesome Gno](https://github.com/gnolang/awesome-gno#tutorials) and explore the [YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/@_gnoland/videos) for previous workshops and demos.
+2. Learn to use the `gno` CLI to write and test your contracts (`gno test [PATH]`) without relying on a blockchain. It offers speed and convenience, and works similarly to the `go` command line tool.
+3. Master `gnokey` for account management and performing transactions.
+4. Discover how to publish contracts on your local devnet.
+5. Obtain faucet tokens and publish your contracts on https://staging.gno.land or another testnet.
+6. Start building more complex dApps, utilizing realms (`/r/...`) and pure packages (`/p/...`) you create or those crafted by the community. Leverage the `Render()` function for smooth interactions.
+7. Experiment with creating web frontends or new clients to engage with the chain and your contracts.
