With DApps built on the Ethereum blockchain, users can establish persistent, reliable ownership records for actions such as buying a car or a house with smart contracts to enforce blockchain-based verification before a transaction can be completed. Building Ethereum DApps introduces readers to decentralized applications based on the Ethereum blockchain platform. They'll discover how to design smart contracts to enforce transaction rules, and then implement them in Ethereum's JavaScript-like Solidity language. Key Features * Understanding decentralized applications and the underlying technologies * Learning the key components of the Ethereum platform * Implementing smart contracts in Solidity Audience Written for developers with intermediate experience in an OO language or in JavaScript. Some understanding and experience with blockchain concepts is helpful. Author Bio Roberto Infante is an independent software development consultant who specializes in finance.
