Book Description
Ethereum is a public, blockchain-based distributed computing platform featuring smart contract functionality. This book is your one-stop guide to blockchain and Ethereum smart contract development.
We start by introducing you to the basics of blockchain. Youll learn about hash functions, Merkle trees, forking, mining, and much more. Then youll learn about Ethereum and smart contracts, and well cover Ethereum virtual machine (EVM) in detail. Next, youll get acquainted with DApps and DAOs and see how they work. Well also delve into the mechanisms of advanced smart contracts, taking a practical approach.
Youll also learn how to develop your own cryptocurrency from scratch in order to understand the business behind ICO. Further on, youll get to know the key concepts of the Solidity programming language, enabling you to build decentralized blockchain-based applications. Well also look at enterprise use cases, where youll build a decentralized microblogging site.
At the end of this book, we discuss blockchain-as-a-service, the dark web marketplace, and various advanced topics so you can get well versed with the blockchain principles and ecosystem.
