Solidity Programming Essentials

Solidity is a high-level language whose syntax is similar to that of JavaScript and it is designed to compile to code for the Ethereum Virtual Machine. This book will be your guide to understand Solidity Programming to build Smart Contracts for Ethereum and Blockchain.

You will begin with a brief understanding of Blockchain, Ethereum and the Ethereum virtual machine. From here you will be taken through topics that will help you understand the Solidity programming language. You will install all necessary tools to write, test, deploy and debug solidity contracts on Ethereum. You will learn the layout of a Solidity source file and will learn to work with the different data types with Solidity. You will then be taken through solutions while working with the Globally available functions with Solidity. The next set of recipes will help you work with Operators, Control Structures, and Data Structures while building your Smart Contracts. In detain, you will be taken through Function calls, Return types, and Function Modifiers. You will then be taken through recipes in Object Oriented Programming with Solidity. You will then learn to Import, and deploy your smart contracts into your private Blockchain. Furthermore, you will be taken through recipes on Event Logging and Exception Handling and finally, you will be taken through recipes to test and debug your Smart contracts.
