Learn the most powerful and primary programming language for writing
smart contracts and find out how to write, deploy, and test smart
contracts in Ethereum.
Key Features:
-
Get you up and running with Solidity Programming language
-
Build Ethereum Smart Contracts with Solidity as your scripting
language
-
Learn to test and deploy the smart contract to your private Blockchain
Book Description:
Solidity is a contract-oriented language whose syntax is highly
influenced by JavaScript, and is designed to compile code for the
Ethereum Virtual Machine. Solidity Programming Essentials will be your
guide to understanding Solidity programming to build smart contracts for
Ethereum and blockchain from ground-up.
We begin with a brief run-through of blockchain, Ethereum, and their
most important concepts or components. You will learn how to install all
the necessary tools to write, test, and debug Solidity contracts on
Ethereum. Then, you will explore the layout of a Solidity source file
and work with the different data types. The next set of recipes will
help you work with operators, control structures, and data structures
while building your smart contracts. We take you through function calls,
return types, function modifers, and recipes in object-oriented
programming with Solidity. Learn all you can on event logging and
exception handling, as well as testing and debugging smart contracts.
By the end of this book, you will be able to write, deploy, and test
smart contracts in Ethereum. This book will bring forth the essence of
writing contracts using Solidity and also help you develop Solidity
skills in no time.
