The most requested topic for a course I’ve had so far is to build a smart contract blockchain and cryptocurrency. And for plenty of reasons:
Smart contracts are the main feature behind Ethereum, which is the second most valuable cryptocurrency.
Learning smart contracts is a natural next step after learning about blockchains. A blockchain is a decentralized ledger. A smart contract blockchain is a decentralized computer.
A smart contract blockchain can support decentralized applications. This opens the door to a wide variety of solutions.
Based on these points and more it would definitely be a valuable learning experience to try building a smart contract blockchain and cryptocurrency like Ethereum.
So it can be quite surprising to discover that existing tutorials are challenging to find. Sure, there’s the Ethereum documentation. But this information is better understood when you’re pretty knowledgeable about blockchains already. Likewise, other resources you find, like articles and videos, mostly focus on aspects of a completed Ethereum system. They don’t take you through the process of completely building a smart contract blockchain and cryptocurrency.
However, it’s understandable. A complete system like Ethereum is quite complex. It uses many advanced data structures and technologies. And untangling the interaction between its many components can feel like navigating through a labyrinth.

Before taking this course I also took another course from the same instructor,Building blockchain and cryptocurrency, and I can say that this one is much in depth and exciting than the prior. Moreover, this is by far the most comprehensive course on blockchain that I have ever taken. The instructor did a commendable job in explaining each topic clearly and answering all my questions and doubts in QnA section. Ethereum source code is actually very complex and a lot of mathematics is involved in the architecture of Ethereum virtual machine, this course abstracts all the complexity and simplifies it for complete begineers. I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to study ethereum architecture and it’s source code.

About 25% through the course. At first I was a bit perplexed why does the author start with writing an interpreter (designs a primitive language). I am being conservative with the rating of 3.5 now, but I like where it’s going, fast pace, explains exactly what he’s doing and why. Doesn’t waste any time 50% through this excellent course. Still explains very well the code written, he’s an excellent speaker, obviously knows the subject matter intimately, has a lot of ground to cover, moves at very fast pace.

Reason for giving me average rating in spite of my appreciation for the course instructor for picking this unique topic is due to the fact ,that the code flow got hard to understand from Accounts and Transactions sections onwards.I would have appreciated if you have used diagrams and flowchart to make us understand the code flow.Without visual representation of the code,it got reallly tough to undertand

David, just wanted to thank you for the course. For me there’s no way better to understand the mechanics of blockchain, ethereum, smart contracts etc. than to actually code them from scratch, and at the moment your course is one of the best, if not the only one, that is available in the market. I followed along in my own environment, and enjoyed every single milestone achieved along the way. Thanks again!!

This is my fourth course with David and they’re all excellent and joy to follow. This course is a beginner level on how to develop a blockchain topped with crypto and smart contracts, and it served the purpose of getting me interested in pursuing the research on smart contracts to learn and develop real world implementation. Basically, the smart contract part of the course is oversimplified. I mean I could not think of any real use to it. The one good thing about it, it got me thinking to plan a more advanced version, something that works for a purpose within the context of blockchain and cryptocurrency. In all however, I’m not disappointed, it’s still a 5 star introductory course with lots of educational material.

Great instructor with great courses that is my third course from David, and I still learning new things. This course is very advanced, so I would recommend if you don’t know javascript to start with his course Essentials in JavaScript ES6 A Fun and Clear Introduction. Then an excellent intro to the blockchain is Build a Blockchain & Cryptocurrency | Full Stack Edition and finally this as a final course. However, if you already know blockchain and node, this is the course for you, definitely the best on Udemy

David does a good job of narrating his coding by using proper terms for coding. It’s almost a sub course in how to read code. This course goes fast and is very deep. I’m astonished at how much it covers. It appears that the entire Ethereum beige paper is covered. That’s just an incredible amount of computer science coming at you at lightning speed. This is a tour de force of javascript. I find myself saying, So that’s how X works in Y framework… In short, even if you are not interested in blockchain, I would recommend this course as a deep dive into some really interesting parts of programming.

pretty informative but i would have preferred more details on how to progress further in the project with a follow up course
