Build, Test and Secure Real Blockchain Projects
The Blockchain Developer provides a practical path for learning how to design, build, publish, test, maintain, and secure scalable decentralized blockchain projects. The guide goes beyond cryptocurrency concepts to explore the technology, development practices, security considerations, and practical tools required to work with blockchain-based systems.
Through practical examples and development techniques, readers can explore blockchain networks, decentralized applications, smart contracts, consensus mechanisms, wallets, transactions, and more.
Key Blockchain Development Topics
Blockchain Ecosystem
Explore blockchain fundamentals, decentralized ledgers, and different consensus mechanisms.
Networks and Infrastructure
Learn about peer-to-peer networks, nodes, blocks, transactions, miners, and wallets.
Blockchain Platforms
Examine Bitcoin, Ethereum, NEO, EOS, and Hyperledger and their key features.
Smart Contracts
Work with smart contracts and explore their role in decentralized applications.
dApp Development
Build decentralized applications using practical development examples and tools.
Testing and Security
Learn approaches for testing, securing, maintaining, and improving blockchain projects.
From Blockchain Concepts to Practical Development
The book introduces key concepts including cryptoeconomics, consensus mechanisms, decentralized ledgers, mining, wallets, blocks, transactions, and peer-to-peer blockchain networks.
Readers can also explore how to interact with popular node clients and how to implement their own blockchain network, providing a stronger understanding of what happens behind decentralized applications.
Hands-On Smart Contracts and dApps
Practical tools and coding examples demonstrate how to create smart contracts and decentralized applications for multiple blockchain platforms, including Ethereum, NEO, EOS, and Hyperledger.
The guide also covers building dApps with Angular and TypeScript, connecting applications to blockchain networks locally through test environments, and publishing projects to production mainnet environments.
Testing, Scalability and Security
Developing blockchain applications requires more than writing code. This guide introduces practical considerations for testing, security, scalability, maintenance, compliance, and preparing projects for real-world deployment.
Who This Book Is For
This book is designed for developers, architects, engineers, technical entrepreneurs, technical investors, and executives who want to understand blockchain development or explore how blockchain can be implemented in new or existing projects.
