    Summary

This secure system for registering and verifying ownership and identity is perfect for supply chain logistics, health records, and other sensitive data management tasks.

    About the technology
    Blockchain is more than just the tech behind Bitcoin—much more! Combining impenetrable security, decentralized transactions, and independently verifiable supply chains, blockchain applications have transformed currency, digital identity, and logistics. Platforms such as Ethereum and Hyperledger make it easy to get started by using familiar programming languages.

    About the book
    Blockchain in Action teaches you how to design and build blockchain-based decentralized apps, and is written in a clear, jargon-free style. First, you’ll get an overview of how blockchain works. Next, you’ll code your first smart contract using Ethereum and Solidity, adding a web interface, trust validation, and other features until your app is ready for deployment. The only thing you need to get started is standard hardware and open source software.

    What's inside

        Blockchain compared with other distributed systems
        Development in Solidity
        Identity, privacy, and security
        On-chain and off-chain data and operations

    About the reader
    For programmers who know JavaScript.

    About the author
    Bina Ramamurthy has thirty years of experience teaching distributed systems, data science, peer-to-peer networking, and blockchain.
