Blockchain: A Practical Guide to Developing Business, Law, and Technology Solutions demonstrates each topic through a start-to-finish, illustrated case study. The book includes financial, technology, governance, and legal use cases along with advantages and challenges.
Introduction:
Blockchain technology is robust like the Internet, but unlike the web2 Internet of today, it stores identical blocks of information across its network. For this reason, a blockchain cannot be controlled by any single entity nor does it have a single point of failure. By storing data across its network, the blockchain eliminates the risks that come with data being held centrally. Blockchain networks lack centralized points of vulnerability that computer hackers can exploit easily.
Blockchain: A Practical Guide to Developing Business, Law, and Technology Solutions covers blockchain definition, use cases, distributed technology, and especially blockchain development, with a good deal of code snippets and best practices. It targets the Ethereum blockchain, introducing Solidity and other aspects of the Ethereum framework. Additionally, there are two chapters devoted to setup, coding, validation, and deployment of a complete and comprehensive blockchain betting application.
Each chapter in the book can stand alone, describing a particular aspect of blockchain technology and its use cases. That said, there is a sequence whereby each chapter builds on the previous chapters to provide a solid conceptual understanding of blockchain. This is coupled with a comprehensive treatment for getting started as a designer and developer of blockchain applications. This includes the Ethereum technology stack and code, and deployment techniques and examples, including an entire application from code start to deployment finish.
