A Programmers Guide
Ethereum is sometimes referred to as 'Web 3.0', or 'The World Computer'. Whichever way you look at it, Ethereum is the most advanced blockchain technology available today, and is revolutionising industries that historically were impervious to technical advances. This book will teach you everything you need to know about Ethereum, and how to use it to build the next generation of distributed applications, powered by the blockchain!
About the Book

Write your first Distributed Application (Dapp). Follow along with detailed tutorials on how to create your own crypto tokens, run your own crowdsale, and how to create a your own Distributed Autonomous Organisation (DAO).
Learn Solidity, the language of Smart-Contracts. Learn the Solidity language, common patterns and advanced topics, and turn yourself into a Solidity expert!
