Ethereum Coding For Beginners: Prerequisites

This course is perfect if you are new to ethereum blockchain coding but the following are helpful: • Experience working with web technologies (HTML/CSS/Javascript or other scripting languages) • Survival-level Linux skills • No previous experience with Ethereum smart contracts is required.

Every line of code is explained: what it does, how it does it, and more importantly, the underlying principles behind the structure of the examples. The concepts presented are supported by curated suggested reading. Easily digestible principles and practices with hands-on application in a realistic project provide context for curated reference materials. Each lesson is presented with hands-on demonstration and explanation: • A recorded lecture - what it does, the problem it solves and how it works• hands-on live ethereum coding demonstration with line-by-line commentary • Links to carefully vetted reference materials supporting the points raised in the lesson, and the latest developments • Reference application Ethereum coding guide to compare with your own

Audience

Even if Ethereum coding is completely new, developers should be able to learn by example. We go immediately to the weird parts that illustrate how coding on Ethereum differs from other platforms. The critical new thinking and well-solved patterns developers need to effectively plan and use this unique platform and language.
