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. Youll review the fundamentals of programming and networking alongside its introduction to the new discipline of crypto economics.
