Ethereum is an open source, public, blockchain-based distributed computing platform and operating system featuring smart contract (scripting) functionality. In other words, Ethereum is a global, open-source platform for building Decentralized Applications or “DApps”. On Ethereum, you can write code that controls digital value, runs exactly as programmed, and is accessible anywhere in the world.

The Ethereum DApps gain the benefits of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology. They are reliable and predictable, meaning that once they are uploaded to Ethereum, they will always run as programmed. They can control digital assets in order to create new kinds of financial applications. They can be decentralized, meaning that no single entity or person controls them.

In this course, you learn how to develop and deploy Ethereum blockchain applications via Solidity programming language.
