Book Description

Ethereum enables the development of efficient, smart contracts that contain code. These smart contracts can interact with other smart contracts to make decisions, store data, and send Ether to others.Ethereum Projects for Beginners provides you with a clear introduction to creating cryptocurrencies, smart contracts, and decentralized applications. As you make your way through the book, you'll get to grips with detailed step-by-step processes to build advanced Ethereum projects. Each project will teach you enough about Ethereum to be productive right away. You will learn how tokenization works, think in a decentralized way, and build blockchain-based distributed computing systems. Towards the end of the book, you will develop interesting Ethereum projects such as creating wallets and secure data sharing.By the end of this book, you will be able to tackle blockchain challenges by implementing end-to-end projects using the full power of the Ethereum blockchain.

About the Author

Kenny Vaneetvelde had been trading Bitcoin for a few years when he heard about a new technology called Ethereum and was completely captivated by it. After learning all that he could about Ethereum and other blockchain technologies that had suddenly started sprouting up everywhere, he spent over a year doing R and D, developing prototypes, and training new employees in a consultancy firm so that they could start up a new blockchain branch.
