Build an Ethereum Smart Contract with Go and Solidity

Course details

In an increasingly decentralized world, knowing how to develop smart contracts can be a big advantage—but there are some unique characteristics that can be tricky even for experienced developers. This course is designed to provide Go developers with an introduction on how to build and deploy smart contracts on Ethereum. Instructor Xiao Liu starts the basic theories about Ethereum, smart contracts, and their use cases. He then gets into a project-led tutorial on how to build a smart contract using Solidity and deploy and interact with it using Go. After the course, you should feel confident to deploy a smart contract to Ethereum with a good understanding of the basic building blocks.
