Ethereum Development Course - Blockchain at Berkeley

🌟 Unlock the World of Ethereum Development! 🚀

Welcome to the Ethereum Development Course by Blockchain at Berkeley, your ultimate guide to mastering Solidity and building secure Decentralized Applications (dApps) on the Ethereum Blockchain. This course is crafted by industry experts from renowned blockchain startups like Consensys, BlockApps, Virtue Poker, and UJO Music. 🎓✨

Course Overview:

Blockchain Development Bootcamp: A comprehensive journey through the Ethereum ecosystem, this course is divided into four key modules that will take you from a beginner to an experienced Solidity developer. Let's break down what each module has in store for you!

🎯 [FREE] Module 1: Developer Environment Setup and Hello World

• Getting Started: Dive into the basics of Ethereum and Solidity with a simple starting example, like the bank contract.

• Hands-on Development: Install the necessary dependencies, understand the project structure, and create your first "Hello World!" (Greeter) contract using Truffle and web3 APIs.

• Connecting to the Real World: Attach a frontend, learn about Truffle migrations, and interact with your smart contract through the JavaScript console and user questions.

🛠️ Module 2: Solidity In-Depth

• Data Types and Associated Methods: Get familiar with Solidity's data typing, structures, mappings, and more. Learn how to use accessor functions, events, and modifiers to enhance your contracts.

• Branching and Loops: Master the use of loops and objects within your contracts to perform complex operations and call external contracts, including inheritance and imports.

• Other Keywords: Explore advanced keywords such as throw and selfdestruct to handle exceptional cases securely.

🌟 Module 3: Advanced Dapp Development

• Greeter App Review: Refine your understanding of the Greeter app from Module 1 by exploring its architecture and interacting with the Ethereum blockchain using web3 APIs.

• Web3 API: Learn to pull information from the blockchain, including wallet addresses, balances, timestamps, and hashes. You'll also get hands-on experience with the web3 API.

• Developer Tools I: MetaMask and Deployment: Set up MetaMask for browser communication and learn to deploy your dApp on both the Kovan testnet and the Ethereum Mainnet.

🛡️ Module 4: Security and Attack Vectors

• Philosophy and Fundamentals: Understand the importance of security in smart contracts and the fundamentals that every developer should follow.

• Basic Security: Learn about Solidity's default behaviors, the differences between .send(), .transfer(), .call().value(), and the importance of adhering to "Smart" standards for your contracts.

• Attack Vectors: Identify potential attack vectors such as data races and integer overflow/underflow. Learn how to use community tools like OpenZeppelin, Oyente, and SolCover to safeguard your contracts.

By the end of this course, you'll not only understand the intricacies of Ethereum development but also be able to design, build, and deploy secure dApps with confidence. 🚀💼
