Ethereum Resources

These resources will help you understand Ethereum and get you started building your own Ethereum DApp.

Getting started with Ethereum

  1. Not a video person? An equally excellent starting point for learning Ethereum is the very thorough blog post by Matt Condon (Thanks to Ryan Tate for the resource!). Matt explains the key Ethereum terms and helps clear up some questions you might have like what is the difference between a wallet and an account?

  2. Coming from the web developer side? Mahesh Murthy (we know a non Matt!) gives a simple high-level overview of what it takes to develop a DApp.

Building a DApp

  1. We wrote our own tutorial! To be more accurate we combined a couple tutorials we loved (Thanks to Mahesh Murthy and Matt Thomas) into one simple walkthrough. You will learn how to create your own private blockchain network using Geth and Web3 and deploy a simple voting app.

  2. Want to build the same app using Truffle? Mahesh takes our voting app a step further and even shows you how to deploy your DApp on the public Ethereum blockchain.

  3. A nice tutorial by Ed Zynda on creating your own token on Ethereum: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHrQ3l2tT78
