Decentralized Applications (Dapps)
Master end-to-end blockchain application development with Truffle IDE, smart contracts, and web interfaces to create powerful decentralized applications.
Master end-to-end blockchain application development with Truffle IDE, smart contracts, and web interfaces to create powerful decentralized applications.
This comprehensive course equips students with the skills to design and develop complete decentralized applications (Dapps) that leverage blockchain technology. Building on blockchain fundamentals and smart contract development, the curriculum focuses on creating applications with user-friendly interfaces that interact with the blockchain. Students learn the architecture of Dapps, including front-end client interfaces backed by blockchain and smart contracts. The course begins with blockchain server setup and establishing a peer-to-peer network for local testing. Students then master the Truffle development environment, learning crucial commands for initialization, compilation, migration, and testing. The curriculum emphasizes test-driven development methodologies and creating web interfaces that connect to the blockchain through MetaMask. Advanced topics include design improvements through specialized Solidity features, event handling, and external data integration via Oraclize. The course concludes with application models and standards, including Ethereum Improvement Proposals and token standards essential for interoperability.

This course provides comprehensive instruction on developing decentralized applications (Dapps) on blockchain platforms. Students begin by understanding the blockchain server as the foundation for Dapps and learn to set up local test networks for development. The curriculum then introduces the Truffle development environment, teaching students to initialize, compile, migrate, and test smart contracts. A significant focus is placed on test-driven development methodologies to ensure robust applications. Students learn to create web interfaces that connect to blockchain functionality using tools like MetaMask. The course also covers advanced topics including advanced Solidity features for improving design, event handling for responsive applications, and integrating external data through Oraclize. Finally, students explore standardization through Ethereum Improvement Proposals and token standards (ERC-20 and ERC-721) that promote interoperability and consistent behavior across applications.
