Mastering Ethereum Cover

Mastering Ethereum is a book for developers, offering a guide to the operation and use of the Ethereum, Ethereum Classic, RootStock (RSK) and other compatible EVM-based open blockchains.

This repository contains the draft of the book, currently in progress, scheduled for publication in Q4'2018 by O'Reilly Media. The publication date has been delayed, unfortunately, due to some personal issues. Expect to see content developed and pushed here in Q1 and Q2 2018.

Content

The current status of the book is IN PRODUCTION. No further changes will be accepted into the first edition. The final draft of this book has been delivered to the publisher for final copy edit and production work. It is scheduled for publication and first print by December 2018.

Once production is completed, the repository will be tagged as "edition1_print1" and development will continue for errata, bug fixes and preparation for the second edition, which goes into production in late 2019 or early 2020.
