By: Nikhil Bhaskar

Overview of this book

Truffle is a world-class development environment, testing framework and asset pipeline for Ethereum, aiming to make life as an Ethereum developer easier. If you are a web developer wanting to try your hand at developing Dapps with Truffle, then this is the book for you. This book will teach you to write smart contracts and build Dapps with Truffle. You will begin with covering the basics of Truffle, briefly explaining how it integrates Solidity and Web3, in orderto start building a mini decentralized application. Also, you will dive into migration, testing and integrating Truffle with the use of popular JavaScript frameworks. Lastly, you will ship your decentralized application and package it into a product. Moreover, you will go through the best practices in Truffle,so as to increase your proficiency in building Dapps with Truffle. By the end of the book, you will be able to write smart contracts and build decentralized applications with Truffle on Ethereum blockchains.

Summary

There was not a lot of coding in this chapter, but we covered a vital aspect of building decentralized applications. Knowing the different Ethereum clients out there and how to use them will support you when you build more Dapps.

Remember, an Ethereum client is just software that has implemented the Ethereum protocol, which allows it to gain access to a network, post transactions, mine, and more. It allows you to be the node on the blockchain network.

The next chapter will be more fun; we will learn how to successfully migrate your app to Ethereum networks of your choice.
