Honestly speaking, this book is meant for those “lazy” engineers, aspiring blockchain, solidity developers, Web3 engineers, experienced IT professionals in other fields, who like the authors hate reading through lengthy books with several hundreds of pages of mathematical models and equations to even getting started with Blockchain. Many of us are looking for a book with not more than 170-180 pages to gain a very fundamental understanding of the Blockchain ecosystems, create your own contracts, NFTs. There are many books, articles, guides and documents published on Blockchain, and most of them either focus on smart contracts solely, or web3 reference books and most often they tend to be very lengthy, spanning several hundred pages. Of-course, they are aimed at serving an exhaustive content for readers to get a deep understanding on the subjects.
As you go through the book, you will learn the concepts of Blockchain with simply explained stories, use cases for each technology and then set up your development technical environment to dive deeper in Solidity, Web3js, Web3py, Flash loans, Tokens, NFTs and last but not the least, an AI perspective to the blockchain. As you read through the book, hopefully the myths of cryptocurrencies, tokens, NFTs would be debunked, and you will get a very granular/basic to an implementation level understanding and approach of developing decentralized applications on the blockchain. Let us start learning!
