Welcome to the Ethereum Developer Guide! This section is dedicated to providing developers with the necessary resources to understand and build applications on the Ethereum platform.

Quick Start

  1. Understanding Ethereum Basics

    • Ethereum is a decentralized platform that runs smart contracts: applications that run exactly as programmed without any possibility of downtime, censorship, fraud, or third-party interference.
    • Learn more about the Ethereum Basics.
  2. Setting Up Your Development Environment

    • To start developing on Ethereum, you'll need to set up a development environment. This typically includes installing Node.js, Ethereum client (like Geth), and a development framework (like Truffle).
    • Find out how to Set Up Your Development Environment.
  3. Writing Smart Contracts

    • Smart contracts are self-executing contracts with the terms of the agreement directly written into lines of code.
    • Dive into the world of smart contracts with our Smart Contract Writing Guide.

Example Contract

Here's a simple example of a smart contract in Solidity:

pragma solidity ^0.5.0;

contract SimpleStorage {
  uint storedData;

  function set(uint x) public {
    storedData = x;
  }

  function get() public view returns (uint) {
    return storedData;
  }
}
