Preface
We wrote this book to make smart contract development more accessible and easy to understand for beginners looking to explore developing on the blockchain.
It can be daunting when you have terms such as networks, nodes, and forks being thrown around. This book will help you learn how to create and test your own smart contract, create a frontend for users to interact with, and more. We wrote this book because we want to provide a resource for people who want to break into the field but don’t know where to start. We’ve had so many people ask us how they can get started and tell us how overwhelmed they feel about diving into the blockchain. Even engineers with years of experience don’t know where to start when trying to dive into smart contract development.
This book will guide you through the entire process of building a smart contract like you would in the real world, and deploying it to help users interact with it through an application.
This book is for anyone who wants to dive into blockchain development and get hands-on experience writing smart contracts. You should have an editor as well as some basic engineering knowledge like how to start a terminal.
There are various ways you can get involved in the community and learn more about smart contract development beyond this book. Here are a few to check out.
