Hey everyone, I am fairly new to blockchain development and recently started exploring Flow because of its strong focus on NFTs and scalability. I have been going through the documentation and tutorials.., but I am still trying to wrap my head around some Cadence scripting basics—especially when it comes to minting and storing NFTs. I understand that Cadence is resource-oriented., which is quite different from Solidity. Can someone explain (in simple terms) how the prepare and execute blocks work when minting an NFT ?? Also, how do I safely store a newly minted NFT into a user’s collection ?? If there are any beginner-friendly examples or testnet-ready scripts you would recommend.., I would love to check them out. I want to make sure I am following best practices and not just making something that “works,” but also something secure and scalable down the line. I have also read this blog [https://medium.com/better-programming/how-to-build-an-nft-minting-dapp-on-the-flow-blockchain-](https://medium.com/better-programming/how-to-build-an-nft-minting-dapp-on-the-flow-blockchain-d331a2404cae)[azure course in bangalore](https://www.igmguru.com/cloud-computing/microsoft-azure-training-in-bangalore) but still need some more help. Thanks in advance !! Derek Theler ---
