Blockchain Applications: A Hands-On Approach : Arshdeep Bahga: desertcart.in: Books Review: Excellent book for practical learning - When I got the book, I got astonished at what the book has to offer. The first impression is excellent as it is full of examples, images, and explanation. So, does it gives you what it promises? Let's find out. Who is this book for? The book is aimed at students and professionals. Anyone interested in learning about blockchain technology and hands-on experience can benefit from the book. All the code is made available online which makes it easier to work with. Who should not get this book? The book is not for those who are looking for theoretical explanation. It covers some aspects in theory but quickly jumps to the practical aspects with code. Key topics discussed in the book dApps Smart contracts Solidity - The programming language used to develop dApps and smart contracts Mining Whisper protocol and Swarm It also covers advanced topics on the blockchain. Overall, it is a good read for me, and I would recommend the book to anyone who wants hands-on experience with blockchain technology. Review: Highly recommendable - For thise willing to get their hands on Blockchain applications, this book serves the purpose. The writer has used simple understandable language with proper and relevant examples which makes the reader understand each and every thing, the writer want to convey. Expecting more books from Sir Arshdeep, great book for gaining knowledge. Highly recommendable.

Useless Book
It is not organized well. I expected detail explanation on mining, ethash but covers the concept at high level. They covered the pages with screen shots and others. Useless book.

Great book to get started with blockchain development!
• This is a great book for developers who are looking to learn about blockchain technology and develop blockchain applications. • The book has lots of working code examples of smart contracts and decentralized applications for Ethereum platform. • The source code of the entire example is freely available in the book's GitHub repository.

This was the first technical book I read on Etherium Blockchain Dapps. They have a diverse collection of use-cases which is great to see, and example implementations. The authors have made their code run, so the examples are not hypothetical. That said, I consider the example code illustrative of writing applications, not best-of-breed implementation (although they do provide guidance on ordering of logic in a Contract to avoid re-entrancy problems). Awaiting the world is a book that will deal with best design practices, security, and edge-case. Until then, this book will give a solid feel (pun intended) for Solidity. The authors also provide guidance for setting up the various systems in order to actually do development and deploy. That said, the instructions are cursory, but given the main focus of the book on Applications, this is acceptable and to be expected.

Das Buch baut einen soliden theoretischen Rahmen um das Thema Kryptowährung auf. Der Hauptfokus liegt vor allem auf dem Thema Ethereum und Smart Contracts. Hier wird von der Theorie sehr schnell auf die Praxis eingegangen. Wie sieht ein Smart Contract konkret in Code aus. Dabei wird in sehr verständlicher Weise erklärt an Beispielen gezeigt, wie die Praxis aussieht. Gleichzeitig wird häppchenweise das nötige Theoriewissen vermittelt. Der didaktische Aufbau ist großartig. Selten so ein gutes, einfaches und gleichzeitig fundiertes Buch zum Thema Kryptowährungen in den Händen gehalten. Kaufempfehlung!

This book is very useful book for applications. Various examples about applications are described in this book, I'm very interested in reading pages. I especially referred to many blockchain networks for various purpose.
