About this Course
This course prepares you to design and develop end-to-end decentralized applications (Dapps) – which provide anyone with access to the blockchain’s features and services. You will use Truffle IDE, smart contracts, a simple web client, and a MetaMask client. You will learn about the architecture of a Dapp: the front-end client interface, backed by the blockchain and smart contracts.
Main concepts are delivered through videos, demos, and hands-on exercises.

Syllabus
WEEK 1
4 hours to complete
Decentralized Applications (Dapps)
We will explore the notion of the blockchain server as the foundation for a Decentralized Application. We will demonstrate how to install the blockchain server and establish a peer-to-peer network of nodes.
It is a common practice to develop and test a Dapp on a local test network before deploying it on a public network.

WEEK 2
5 hours to complete
Truffle Development
We’ll explore the user-friendly environment that Truffle provides for developing and testing Decentralized Applications. We’ll explore further the truffle commands such as: develop, init, compile, migrate, test – all with truffle in front of them and with any parameters. This module will illustrate the steps needed in developing and testing a complete Dapp.
