DESCRIPTION:
You'll then deploy smart contracts of your own, and learn how they can serve as a back-end for JavaScript and HTML applications on the Web.Many Solidity tutorials out there today have the same flaw: they are written for “advanced” JavaScript developers who want to transfer their skills to a blockchain environment. Introducing Ethereum and Solidity is accessible to technology professionals and enthusiasts of all levels. You’ll find exciting sample code that can move forward real world assets in both the academic and the corporate arenas. Learn how to use Solidity and the Ethereum project – second only to Bitcoin in market capitalization. Find out now why this book is a powerful gateway for creative technologists of all types, from concept to deployment.What You’ll LearnSee how Ethereum (and other cryptocurrencies) workCompare distributed apps (dapps) to web appsWrite Ethereum smart contracts in Solidity Connect Ethereum smart contracts to your HTML/CSS/JavaScript web applicationsDeploy your own dapp, coin, and blockchainWork with basic and intermediate smart contractsWho This Book Is For Anyone who is curious about Ethereum or has some familiarity with computer science Product managers, CTOs, and experienc
Amazon Customer said Good introduction for non-programmers.. This book is a good high-level overview of blockchain for non-programmers. The analogies Chris uses to explain this technology makes it approachable and understandable for a broad audience. The historic perspective and comparison to existing financial services provide insight into the potential of Ethereum. I recommend this book for business leaders and financial professionals..

Piles of paragraphs with no clear logical paths or relations are throughout the book almost everywhere.I was reading another one-star comment: "This is one of the worst books I ever read. It uses tons of annoying metaphors to explain simple concepts at a high
Blockchain protocols are taking the world by storm, and the Ethereum project, with its Turing-complete scripting language Solidity, has rapidly become a front-runner. This book presents the blockchain phenomenon in context; then situates Ethereum in a world pioneered by Bitcoin.See why professionals and non-professionals alike are honing their skills in smart contract patterns and distributed application development. You'll review the fundamentals of programming and networking, alongside its introduction to the new discipline of crypto-economics. Introducing Ethereum and Solidity is accessible to technology professionals and enthusiasts of “all levels.” You’ll find exciting sample code th
