Blockchain Overview

Feb 4 by Bina

Let's explore a little bit of history, peek into the blockchain, understand smart contracts and review a whole lot of use cases from diverse domains. Bring your laptops to class. we will have some fun.

Designing a Smart Contract

Feb 11 by Bina

Lets explore an approach in designing a smart contract. We will use a specific design approach. We will code the smart contrcat in Solidity, test it on Remix IDE.

Designing a Dapp - Part 1: Concepts

Feb 13 by Bina

Lets explore an approach in designing a Dapp. We will first learn about the inner working of the blockchain to get an idea how it is built, what are its building blocks and protocols, where does a smart contract fit it and the role of Dapp?

Designing a Dapp - Part 2: Architecture

Feb 18 by Bina

Let's explore the architectural model of a Dapp and the blockhain server concept. Also examine teh APIs, for accessing the smart contract functions from the web user interface. All these will give a strong foundation for coding the Dapp stack and smart contract.

Designing a Dapp - Part 3: Coding

Feb 20 by Bina

Let's follow the design steps and develop a sample smart contract to understand the important part of Dapp development. Today we develop the smart contract for voting process (Ballot.sol) in Solidity language and test it in Remix environment. Here is a version fo Ballot.sol.

Designing a Dapp - Part 4: Rules

Feb 25 by Bina

Today we will implement trust in Dapp. By adding modifers for implementing rules. We will also Demo a VM as a development environment. Here is a version fo Ballot.sol.
