Solidity and Blockchain for beginners

Solidity is an object-oriented, high-level language for implementing smart contracts. Smart contracts are programs which govern the behaviour of accounts within the Ethereum state. Solidity was influenced by C++, Python and Java Script and is designed to target the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). Solidity is statically typed, supports inheritance, libraries and complex user-defined types among other features. With Solidity you can create contracts for uses such as voting, crowdfunding, blind auctions, and multi-signature wallets. A contract in the sense of Solidity is a collection of code (its functions) and data (its state) that resides at a specific address on the Ethereum blockchain. Blockchain is a very powerful technology that allows everyday users to exchange sensitive data without a middleman. Programmers can leverage the blockchain in theirapplications using Solidity, a programming language for the Ethereum platform. This basic beginners course teaches you how to build a simple contract-based application with Solidity. What You will learn include: Blockchain terminology Basic layout of a solidity source file Importing  other source files Using comments in solidity Basic solidity syntax Basic structure of a solidity contract Solidity Types Ethereum Virtual Machine -EVMFunctions and Function Modifiers Solidity Function Syntax Solidity Compiler Solidity Events Creating a solidity contract Solidity Operators Solidity Units Special types of contract Special variables and Functions State variables
