about the subject

Phishing, identity fraud, XML bombs, and cross-site scripting are just a few of the serious consequences enabled when applications and data are controlled by centralized individuals or entities. DApps put control in the hands of users by taking advantage of a system built from distributed, decentralized components. In addition to being fast, reliable, and resilient, DApps are particularly resistant to common security threats and the possibility of collusion. The Ethereum platform has been used to build the vast majority of DApps, putting a premium on Ethereum blockchain and DApp skills!

about the video

In Ethereum DApps in Motion, master instructor Julien Klepatch teaches you how to build DApps using the Ethereum toolchain and an emerging body of best practices. Under his expert guidance, you’ll begin your in-depth DApp education by using the JavaScript-like Ethereum programming language Solidity to write a self-executing, self-verifying smart contract like the ones widely used in online transactions. Using tools and libraries from the Ethereum stack, including Remix and Truffle, you’ll ease into building more advanced DApps.

Along the way you’ll gain valuable skills including deploying and testing smart contracts on various blockchains like testnet and mainnet, writing Truffle migrations, and running your DApps from your browser using MetaMask. Everything you learn culminates in your final project: a decentralized exchange. With the surging interest in digital currency, that’s worth the price of admission all on its own!

prerequisites

For intermediate web developers with a working knowledge of JavaScript and Node. No experience with Solidity or Ethereum is necessary.
