Blockchains and technologies supported by blockchains such as distributed apps (DApps/smart contracts), NFTs, and Web3 are taking the world by storm. Everyone is talking about them, and developers knowledgeable in these technologies are some of the highest-paid in the world! There are so many components to a DApp that you can easily get lost in the hundreds of components, libraries, and tools floating around the web. To learn how to create DApps, you can assume that a blockchain is a distributed data store that provides certain guarantees. Then, start using existing blockchain frameworks to deploy your DApps just as you would deploy your sites on the web without having to rebuild a web server! This is the approach we take in this course. You will set up a blockchain environment using stable, easy-to-use frameworks. Then, you will look at two smart contracts (or DApps) and deploy them first locally and later a global distributed TestNet. This will take you through all the steps needed to deploy your own DApp with minimal effort. In the end, you will deploy your (and your clients') DApps on the Ethereum mainnet. By the end of this course, you will be able to create your first DApp on Ethereum.
