Explore blockchain fundamentals, Ethereum accounts, gas and gas price, then learn to code and deploy a smart contract on a blockchain.
The prerequisite for this course is knowing at least one programming language before taking it; any language such as Java, C, C++, or Python will do.
Understand blockchain as a distributed, immutable ledger where blocks record transactions and are shared across a peer-to-peer network, with miners adding blocks to prevent tampering.
Learn how Ethereum enables programs on a blockchain and fuels decentralized applications, and distinguish blockchain technology, protocols or coins, and tokens using real-world examples from CoinMarketCap.
Explore how Ethereum accounts work, including wallets and contract accounts, how private keys and addresses secure ether transfers, and the role of gas in deploying smart contracts.
Understand how Ethereum gas powers smart contract deployment and on-chain operations, and see how gas costs for arithmetic actions determine the transaction fees paid by users.
Explain Ethereum gas price as the per-unit fee for gas, showing how total cost equals gas units times price and how higher gas price speeds up transaction confirmation.
Master how Ethereum gas limit caps transaction gas, how base fees and miner tips determine fees, and how setting a contract gas limit prevents infinite loops in smart contracts.
Learn Solidity, an object-oriented, high-level language for smart contracts with static typing and case-sensitive syntax, enabling contracts for voting, crowdfunding, and auctions while stressing best practices on the blockchain.
Learn the difference between mainnet and testnet in Ethereum, and how test networks let you freely test smart contracts and dapps before deploying on mainnet.
Install MetaMask in Chrome, create a wallet from scratch, connect to Ethereum to interact with decentralized apps, and never share your secret recovery phrase.
Learn how to use a MetaMask wallet on the Ropsten faucet to obtain test ether, check your balance, and manage transfer delays between wallets.
Visit code dot com and open the playground to select solidity and create a demo hello world smart contract, configuring the SPV license and a 0.8.x compiler for deployment.
Learn to create and deploy a simple Solidity smart contract that gets and sets a state variable using public and view functions, connected to MetaMask on a test network.
Create and deploy a token smart contract on the blockchain, defining name, symbol, total supply, and owner via constructor, with a balances mapping and transfer function accessible via metamask.
Deploy your smart contract on a testnet using a fake Ethereum blockchain, confirm the transaction, then import the deployed token into MetaMask to view it.

Learn Ethereum and Solidity is a flexible & comprehensive program. The Developer course is designed for programmers and developers who want to take a comprehensive deep dive in writing smart contracts and building applications that interact with them. This course provides detailed overviews of Blockchain, Ethereum, smart contracts, and the development language, Solidity and much more
- Are you looking for a complete package which deals with development of Blockchain, Ethereum, and Smart Contracts?
- Do you need a simple step-by-step explanation of all the concepts of blockchain, like Ethereum, Smart Contracts, etc.,?
You are in the right place as this course will help you understand blockchain development from its ground levels.
What is Blockchain ?
As such there is no specific definition of Blockchain. What is like to Blockchain is that Blockchain is distributed immutable ledger which is completely transparent.
What is Ethereum ?
Ethereum is a decentralized, open-source blockchain with smart contract functionality. Ether is the native cryptocurrency of the platform. Among cryptocurrencies, Ether is second only to Bitcoin in market capitalization.
What is Solidity ?
Solidity is an object-oriented programming language for implementing smart contracts on various blockchain platforms, most notably, Ethereum.
What are the course prerequisites?
Knowledge of at least one programming language.
I hope that excites you! I would be glad to see you on the course!
