You'll learn about the fundamentals of Ethereum from a new perspective, developing a strong understanding of how the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) works and how it affects product engineering, as well as all the pieces of technology that go into decentralized apps (dapps) behind the front end: RPC nodes, wallets, indexers, application hosts, and more.

He worked as a Founding Engineer and Senior Software Engineer in startups, responsible for training and mentoring as well as writing code. He has worked in the tech industry for over a decade, seeing organizations at varying levels of scale and the ways that teams and technologies get shaped by product decisions. He has also studied philosophy at the graduate level, which has given him the tools to think about computing in a deeper way. Over the past few years, he has built up a set of principles and opinions on what makes for great software and a great engineering culture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 261\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.59 x 10 x 7 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 21, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42122797219975,"sku":"9781484290446","price":64.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/17b740b9c308e9330ae10ef6e5be3aa1.webp?v=1732562448","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/building-with-ethereum-products-protocols-and-platforms-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
