This chapter introduces the Ethereum development environment. Several examples will be introduced in this chapter to complement the theoretical concepts provided in earlier chapters. This chapter will mainly cover the setup of the development environment and how to use relevant tools to create and deploy smart contracts using Ethereum blockchain.
The first task is to set up a development environment. This section introduces the Ethereum setup for testnet and private net. Testnet is called Ropsten and is used by developers or users as a test platform to test smart contracts and other blockchain-related proposals. The private net option in Ethereum allows the creation of an independent private network that can be used as a shared distributed ledger between participating entities and for the development and testing of smart contracts.
