Status Updates From Hands-On Smart Contract Dev...

Reading this feels like I'm climbing up the steepest mountain ever with a blindfold.

I just got done reading it for 30 minutes, I set up an account with Infura and they were showing me how to deploy Rinkekey on that and also get test eth on it.

The same error keeps coming up

I read for 30 minutes and got to page 81, they are showing me Ganache

I just got to chapter 5, they are going to teach me 3 different ways to deploy a smart contract. I tried to clone a repo but got stuck, I made a GitHub key but my access is still being denied. I will figure it out tomorrow.

I got this a couple of days ago and just started to read it today, I'm so excited. I've been listening to audiobooks and watching videos about the blockchain. It is cool to have a physical copy so I can highlight, underscore and add my sticker notes to it. I'm focused on learning solidity and becoming a blockchain engineer.

Why so many sections on React? I want to read more Solidity code.

Too much verbose test output. I like TDD but this book could use a lot less failing test output and more lines of solidity.

Also this book seems dated because code samples use solidity prior to the 0.7.0 release. A section calls out using SafeMath which is used by default in 0.8.0 so no longer super applicable.
