Overview of this book

Ethereum is one of the commonly used platforms for building blockchain applications. It's a decentralized platform for applications that can run exactly as programmed without being affected by fraud, censorship, or third-party interference. This book will give you a deep understanding of how blockchain works so that you can discover the entire ecosystem, core components, and its implementations. You will get started by understanding how to configure and work with various Ethereum protocols for developing dApps. Next, you will learn to code and create powerful smart contracts that scale with Solidity and Vyper. You will then explore the building blocks of the dApps architecture, and gain insights on how to create your own dApp through a variety of real-world examples. The book will even guide you on how to deploy your dApps on multiple Ethereum instances with the required best practices and techniques. The next few chapters will delve into advanced topics such as, building advanced smart contracts and multi-page frontends using Ethereum blockchain. You will also focus on implementing machine learning techniques to build decentralized autonomous applications, in addition to covering several use cases across a variety of domains such as, social media and e-commerce. By the end of this book, you will have the expertise you need to build decentralized autonomous applications confidently.

Mastering dApps

In mastering dApps, you're going to learn how to create advanced decentralized applications that use the smart contract that we saw in previous chapters. We'll go through all the steps from scratch including planning, developing the code, and testing the applications. First, you'll start by taking a look at how dApps are structured so that you can efficiently create new dApps from scratch. You'll go through the installation of Ethereum and Truffle to use it for your products. Then, you'll learn how to create great user interfaces that show people the right content without clutter. Finally, you'll create the smart contracts required to interact with the dApp and you'll integrate those to allow users to interact easily with the contracts from the interface.

In this chapter, we're going to cover the following topics:
