Sample Dapp in ethereum

This repo consists the training material for creating a sample DApp in ethereum. The repo covers the following concepts:

• Solidity programming language
• Ethereum environment
• Remix Solidity IDE
• Smart contracts
• Simple WebApp

Project setup

Setting up TestRPC

Check if nodejs is installed by entering the following commands in the terminal

node --version
npm --version

If any of the above commands works then we are in good shape to go ahead else install the node js and refer to this list for the same.

The below command should install the test ethereum environment:

Building the web project:

mkdir code && cd code
npm init
npm install ethereum/web3.js --save

web3 api's allows us to connect connect our smart contract to our web applications
