Blockchain Developer's Guide: Develop smart applications with Blockchain technologies - Ethereum, JavaScript, Hyperledger Fabric, and Corda
Build real-world projects like a smart contract deployment platform, betting apps, wallet services, and much more using blockchain
Key FeaturesApply blockchain principles and features for making your life and business betterUnderstand Ethereum for smart contracts and DApp deploymentTackle current and future challenges and problems relating to blockchainBook DescriptionBlockchain applications provide a single-shared ledger to eliminate trust issues involving multiple stakeholders. It is the main technical innovation of Bitcoin, where it serves as the public ledger for Bitcoin transactions.
Blockchain Developer's Guide takes you through the electrifying world of blockchain technology. It begins with the basic design of a blockchain and elaborates concepts, such as Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs), tokens, smart contracts, and other related terminologies. You will then explore the components of Ethereum, such as Ether tokens, transactions, and smart contracts that you need to build simple DApps.
Blockchain Developer's Guide also explains why you must specifically use Solidity for Ethereum-based projects and lets you explore different blockchains with easy-to-follow examples. You will learn a wide range of concepts - beginning with cryptography in cryptocurrencies and including ether security, mining, and smart contracts. You will learn how to use web sockets and various API services for Ethereum.
By the end of this Learning Path, you will be able to build efficient decentralized applications.
