Summary

Mastering Ethereum: Building Smart Contracts and Dapps (Abridged Edition) by Andreas M. Antonopoulos and Gavin Wood, PhD.

Ethereum represents the gateway to a worldwide decentralized computing paradigm. This platform enables you to run decentralized applications (DApps) and smart contracts that have no central points of failure or control, integrate with a payment network, and operate on an open blockchain. With this practical guide, Andreas M. Antonopoulos and Gavin Wood provide everything you need to know about building smart contracts and DApps on Ethereum and other virtual-machine blockchains.

Discover why IBM, Microsoft, NASDAQ, and hundreds of other organizations are experimenting with Ethereum. This essential guide shows you how to develop the skills necessary to be an innovator in this growing and exciting new industry.

This essential guide shows you how to develop the skills necessary to be an innovator in this growing and exciting new industry:

  • Run an Ethereum client, create and transmit basic transactions, and program smart contracts
  • Learn the essentials of public key cryptography, hashes, and digital signatures
  • Understand how "wallets" hold digital keys that control funds and smart contracts
  • Interact with Ethereum clients programmatically using JavaScript libraries and Remote Procedure Call interfaces
  • Learn security best practices, design patterns, and anti-patterns with real-world examples
  • Create tokens that represent assets, shares, votes, or access control rights
  • Build decentralized applications using multiple peer-to-peer (P2P) components

Good book, Low effort money grab reader

The book itself is great, written by giants of blockchain.

The reader is terrible. It blatantly MISREAD words and keep going. Calls the “National Institute of Standards and Technology” the “National Institute of SCIENCE and Technology”. Reads (commit-reveal mechanisms) as (commit-real mechanisms) .

This is constant. Page after page, chapter after chapter.

It’s almost like a college student quickly cramming over a whole book, without even making a second attempt at reading something correctly.

BAD AUDIOBOOK

Painful to listen to

The narrator is terrible!

He pronounces ganache (guh-nash) as guh-nah-chee
uint8 and uint16 are pronounced unit8 and unit16
Mnemonic (nuh-monic) as muh-nomic(!)
Nvidia as n-v-i-d-i-a

He often fluffs his lines, but doesn't correct himself. It's like he's reading the material for the first time.

At one point near the end, I think he spoke through a yawn!?

I'm pretty sure I heard his phone in the background, too, at one point

I'll be avoiding any books narrated by this guy in future

As for the actual content of the book? I was too distracted by the awful narration to take anything of value in!
