Building Ethereum dapps : decentralized applications on the Ethereum blockchain A first look at decentralized applications Understanding the blockchain The ethereum platform Deploying your first smart contract Programming smart contracts in Solidity Writing more complex smart contracts Generalizing functionality with abstract contracts and interfaces Managing smart contracts with Web3.js The ethereum ecosystem Unit testing contracts with Mocha Improving the development cycle with Truffle Putting it all together: building a complete voting Dapp Making a Dapp production ready Security considerations Conclusions. Imagine unbreakably secure applications that handle personal and business transactions without any central agency controlling the process. Decentralized applications or Dapps do just this shifting power to users. The Ethereum blockchain platform provides the tools you need to build Dapps including an innovative smart contracts model and solidity a Dapp aware JavaScript like programming language. Building Ethereum Dapps teaches Dapps development on the Ethereum blockchain platform. Youll begin with a mental model of how Dapps operate and then dive into designing and implementing smart contracts in Ethereums Solidity language. Youll explore Ethereum smart contract development tools like Truffle and Web3 and pick up best practices for design and security. Practical exercises throughout give you valuable hands on experience
