A Practical Developer Guide
What you will learn
Have a basic understanding of the Ethereum blockchain
Know about tools that are used to program in Solidity (Hardhat and Remix)
Have a quick introduction to Solidity
Know how to interact with smart contracts through the ethers and web3 JavaScript libraries
Know about wallets (MetaMask and WalletConnect)
Know how to set up a local test blockchain and how to interact with a blockchain network
Know how to integrate wallets in and how to interact with the blockchain from a user interface
Why take this course?
This course aims to give an overview of what you need to know to program in Solidity.
The course currently consists of three parts.
‘;
}});
In the first part, I explain some basic blockchain concepts.
In the second part, I explain tools that are used to develop blockchain applications.
- This part explains the development tools Hardhat and Remix.
- You will see Solidity code for making your own cryptocurrency.
- You will see the JavaScript libraries ethers.js and web3.js that are used to interact with the Ethereum blockchain.
- You will see how you can connect a wallet with a blockchain application. I will show MetaMask, which is a popular wallet and also WalletConnect, which acts as a bridge to connect multiple kinds of wallets with an application. I will also show how you can transfer cryptocurrencies in MetaMask.
- You will see how to set up a local test blockchain on your computer and also how to interact with an Ethereum testnet on the Internet.
- You will see how you can register and configure an Ethereum Name.
In the third part, I show how you can make a user interface that interacts with the Ethereum blockchain, it shows
- how to retrieve the address of a smart contract through an Ethereum Name
- how to read data from the blockchain through a default provider
- how to connect MetaMask or a wallet through WalletConnect with the user interface
- how to execute functions that write data to the blockchain through a connected wallet
- how to search for events emitted by a smart contract
