Instructions and Navigations

All of the code is organized into folders. For example, Chapter02.

The code will look like the following:

componentDidMount = async () => {
        const web3 = await getWeb3();
        const contractInstance = await getInstance(web3);
...
        this.setState({ contractInstance: contractInstance });
      } 

Following is what you need for this book: This book is for all developers and architects who want to explore Ethereum blockchain fundamentals and get started with building real-world decentralized applications. Knowledge of an object-oriented programming language such as JavaScript will be useful but not mandatory.
