This is the 1st post in the Starting Ethereum focus series. Many people know about Bitcoin, because of its recent rise (and soon crash?). However, Bitcoin is just a currency, albeit a crypto one. As such, it’s of very limited interest to me. But it’s based on the concept of blockchain and that seems to be much more interesting.

This is the 2nd post in the Starting Ethereum focus series. In the latest post, the required infrastructure to do something on Ethereum was set up. Now is the time to roll up our sleeves and start writing some code on it. In this post, I’ll show how to write a trivial contract.

This is the 3rd post in the Starting Ethereum focus series. The last weeks saw us setting up the tooling and writing a contract. It’s definitely time to deploy a contract for real and run it. Thanks to the Ethereum wallet, deploying and running a contract is trivial.

This is the 4th post in the Starting Ethereum focus series. This post is the 4th in a series dedicated on starting development with the Ethereum blockchain. Let’s face it. For a smart contract, implementing an addition of two integers is not very smart.

This is the 5th post in the Starting Ethereum focus series. This post is part of a series dedicated on starting development with the Ethereum blockchain. Last week, we finally developed a contract providing some value in the form of a rough-around-the-edges voting application. Ethereum comes with no tools aimed at state-of-the-art software development out-of-the-box. Since this is a huge issue, there’s third-party tooling available in the form of the Truffle framework.
