Ten metaphors to explain what Blockchain is. Another five metaphors to explain what EVM is. A subchapter on explaining difference between Digital and Analog computer, seriously? Why is her picture taking half of the page? But your excitement does not last long.
At last, on page 99 you are past half a book now you get to practical exercise of creating Token a type of Smart Contract. There are a few screen shots, but none of them readable, was it so hard to make it figures bigger? To do that exercise you are required to copy and paste some code from GitHub. There is no explanation in the book what this code dose. The code is not reproduced in its entirety in the book; there is just fuzzy picture of it.
Yet there is a clearly looking picture of Grace Hopper This is where I am now, there a few more chapters to go through, if I find something useful in them I will update this review, but I hugely doubt that. It was very painful to read through the book. The author tends to write things he wants to talk about without considering what readers want to read. For example, under chapter title of "Mist Browser", he talks about many different things with very little touching of what a Mist browser does.
Piles of paragraphs with no clear logical paths or relations are throughout the book almost everywhere. I was reading another one-star comment: "This is one of the worst books I ever read. Lack of technical depths really made this book one of the worst I ever read, too. I wasn't sure how it could have gotten so many 5-star ratings. I guess it wasn't written for me.
If you're a programmer, and you're ready to start writing some code, this book will likely leave you disappointed. It is an introduction to Ethereum, not a comprehensive guide. Before reading this book, I barely knew what a block chain was. Not, I have a better understanding of that, as well as some of the differences between Ethereum and Bitcoin. I was already familiar with Public Key Cryptography, but I didn't understand how it could be used to authenticate the sender.
Now, I understand that. In the meantime, I am glad I was able to get started with this one. Great introduction. With several links to updated information. See all reviews. Top reviews from other countries. Translate all reviews to English. Almost halfway through and it is an excellent book.
Well-written and takes the time to explain things to beginners like me by building up your understanding from chapter to chapter. I highly recommend it, if you like me did not know much about it all. I am looking forward to the chapters on Solidity. Report abuse. As a software developer excited about blockchain applications I found this to be a fantastic book and being enabled to make a practical start on developing with Ethereum is exactly what I hoped to achieve.
However it would also really benefit non-developers due to it's sound description of the underlying technology. One person found this helpful. Scattered content, very basic overview of Ethereum and very little on Solidity. Great incite into what ethereum is and how it operates. Does not go into technical details of structure of ethereum blockchain as much as would have liked.

Blockchain protocols are taking the world by storm, and the Ethereum project, with its Turing-complete scripting language Solidity, has rapidly become a front-runner. This book presents the blockchain phenomenon in context; then situates Ethereum in a world pioneered by Bi Learn how to use Solidity and the Ethereum project - second only to Bitcoin in market capitalization.
This book presents the blockchain phenomenon in context; then situates Ethereum in a world pioneered by Bitcoin. See why professionals and non-professionals alike are honing their skills in smart contract patterns and distributed application development.
You'll review the fundamentals of programming and networking, alongside its introduction to the new discipline of crypto-economics. You'll then deploy smart contracts of your own, and learn how they can serve as a back-end for JavaScript and HTML applications on the Web. Many Solidity tutorials out there today have the same flaw: they are written for "advanced" JavaScript developers who want to transfer their skills to a blockchain environment.
Introducing Ethereum and Solidity is accessible to technology professionals and enthusiasts of all levels. You'll find exciting sample code that can move forward real world assets in both the academic and the corporate arenas.

Aug 10, Fan rated it did not like it. I was very enthusiastic about that book, but unfortunately I have to say that once I started reading this book my enthusiasm turned into disappointment and once I reached the end of the book my disappointment even turned into even more disappointment.
I cannot recommend reading this book and I really wondering why it received so many good reviews. Here are the reasons why I don't recommend this book: 1. It is messy Problem: The author starts explaining something in one place and suddenly stops. The I was very enthusiastic about that book, but unfortunately I have to say that once I started reading this book my enthusiasm turned into disappointment and once I reached the end of the book my disappointment even turned into even more disappointment.
Then some chapters later he continues and again suddenly stops just to continue some pages later. This causes a lot of disruptions when trying to understand a concept in one go. Example: Cryptography and cryptographic signatures are introduced on page 7 without explaining cryptographic hash functions. They are finally mentioned on page 55 that is much too late, because one needs to understand them in order to understand cryptographic signatures.
Crucial information is just missing Problem: A heading highlights an important term, but no explanation is given in the following paragraph. Just visit Wikipedia in order to see that this data structure needs some good explanation in order to be understood. Unfortunately this book does not help you in understanding Merkle Patricia Trees.
Unfortunately this information is not sufficient. If you really understand the GHOST or Stellar protocol with that information you are genius and I am wondering why you bought that book in the first place. What do these subsection have to do with virtual machines? Again: What have these topics to do with the programming language solidity? The remainder of the chapter 4 is not good at all. Wasting pages and pages on niche topics without providing any systematic introduction into Solidity.
It is wasting time on trivialities and common places Problem: The author wastes valuable space of the book and valuable reading time of its readers for absolute trivialities. It is inconsistent Problem: The book is inconsistent. One the one hand the author treats his readers as they are absolute beginners that need explanations even for the most basic concepts of computer science but on the other hand he treats his readers as they were already experts that do not need any explanations at all.
If the author thought his readers are absolute beginners he should consistently provide explanations of all basic concepts starting with bits and bytes, interpreters, compilers, hashes, data structures, algorithms, network protocols, cryptography, distributed consensus and so on, which would require at least pages. Alternatively, if the author thought his readers are experts he should have better jumped directly into the specifics of Ethereum without wasting any word on basic concept, which as a result would have yield a book of at most pages.
Summary: If you still consider giving this book a try, do yourself a favour and buy a softcopy from am online bookstore so that you have at least the chance to return it to the shop once you are dissatisfied with the book. Good introductory book. It's a bit complicated to write a book aimed at both technical and non-technical readers, you risk boring the former and confusing the latter, as it's hard to find a good balance. As a programmer, I wish it was a bit more technical and detailed, but it's an "introduction" for a reason, and in any case the author provides a very comprehensive and up to date list of links on his website for anyone who wants to dig a bit deeper in any of the topics.
All in all, very recommende Good introductory book. All in all, very recommended reading for those interested in Ethereum. It succeeds in that because Developers will be very disappointed with the technical stuff - don't expect that you'll have any reasonable foundation to build dapp after reading this book.
The worst thing is that even if this book is at most average, most likely it's still the best book available on the topic Nov 06, Gavin rated it did not like it Recommends it for: skip it. Shelves: ebook. The book is likely hopelessly outdated now. Descriptions of Ethereum and it's workings are very high level and not very concrete and right at the point it looked like it might get more detailed it said you're better off visiting the internet to continue on this topic.
Mildly interesting to read what a true believer thought in I laughed out loud when reading a couple of arguments for why this technology was amazing and would solve the world's problems. Aug 30, Joseph Knecht rated it liked it Shelves: technology , economics. While waiting for the publication of Mastering Ethereum by Andreas Antonopoulos, I decided to give this book a try.
I think the book gives a good introduction to Ethereum, EVM and the potential of the technology. There is an introduction to Mist, Geth, cryptography, hashing, Patricia tree structures, dapps, smart contracts. Images, videos and audio are available under their respective licenses.
