As I am curious about blockchain and cryptocurrency.
I want to get more details about cryptocurrency and technology stack behind this whole blockchain.
So from my colleague, I got to know about Solidity so I want to get some hands-on on it.
So I went through some sites and created my some sample contracts,
as I already mentioned in my Introduction to blogspot post I am sharing my knowledge here only,
I am not covering what is blockchain and cryptocurrancy as this are already covered by many sites,
So I will start directly blockchain development and ethereum based smart contracts only with Solidity.

What is Solidity :
From Official Document, Solidity is a contract-oriented, high-level language for implementing smart contracts.
It was influenced by C++, Python, and JavaScript and is designed to target the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM).
Solidity is statically typed, supports inheritance, libraries and complex user-defined types among other features.
As you will see, it is possible to create contracts for voting, crowdfunding, blind auctions, multi-signature wallets and more.
So let’s do some basic setup on your system.
Mac OS Installation:
Install Node modules:
$ npm install -g solc
This is solidity compiler with javascript.
$ npm install -g truffle
Truffle is a development environment, testing framework and asset pipeline for Ethereum.
$ npm install -g ethereumjs-testrpc
testrpc is a Node.js based Ethereum client for testing and development.
Install required tools or software with brew:
$ brew update
$ brew upgrade
$ brew tap ethereum/ethereum
$ brew install solidity
$ brew linkapps solidity
Ubuntu Installation:
Install Node modules:
$ npm install -g solc
$ npm install -g truffle
$ npm install -g ethereumjs-testrpc
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ethereum/ethereum
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install solc
Now you are done with your basic setup for developing your smart-contracts.
So click here to start your first solidity programming.
