Day 7: Things I've Learned Through 3 Lessons Of The Blockchain, Solidity, and Full Stack Web3 Development with JavaScript Course
August 17th, 2022

I’m only about 3.5 hours into this course, and I have already learned a ton. Below is a list of just some of the things I have learned so far.

  • Capitalization Matters. I know I have said this before but this is a new thing for me and it keeps causing me issues. I am getting better though!
  • Semicolons also matter. This has been maybe more problematic than the capitalization challenge. Again coming from PowerShell you don’t need to put anything at the end of a line, with Solidity you need semicolons. Also getting better at this!
  • How to use Remix, an in-browser Solidity editor
  • How to compile Solidity code in Remix
  • How to deploy Solidity code in Remix “locally” in a virtual machine, but also to an Ethereum Testnet Network
  • How to use the Rinkeby Block Explorer (it’s just like Ethereum)
  • How to use Ethereum Testnet Network faucets to get funds for my accounts
  • That there is a Solidity extension for Visual Studio Code
  • How to configure Git Config with a username and email address (I have done this before but was a fun reminder of how painful it was the first time I installed Git for using with VS Code)
  • How to import a Solidity Smart Contract for use with another contract
  • How to override a function from one smart contract when using it in another smart contract
  • Where the “methods” come from when looking at transactions in a block explorer
  • How smart contracts can inherit the functionality of other smart contracts
  • How to use/navigate the discussions tab in a GitHub repository
